Resumo(s)
Este trabalho pretende contribuir para a compreensão das formas como um
professor pode dinamizar actividades e promover interacções na comunidade da sala de
aula, utilizando o trabalho colaborativo como principal metodologia de trabalho a
desenvolver na construção do saber matemático, de forma a promover uma
aprendizagem colaborativa. Neste sentido, o presente estudo descreve e analisa o modo
de actuar dos alunos do 7º ano em sala de aula, em particular a colaboração e a
interacções emergentes nesse contexto, pelo que assenta em quatro questões: (a) Como
se caracteriza a colaboração em Matemática? (b) Como se relaciona colaboração com a
aprendizagem? (c) Que papel tem a organização da actividade na sala de aula na
promoção de interacções sociais que propiciam a colaboração na construção do saber
matemático? e (d) Que estratégias se deve desenvolver para fomentar a colaboração em
Matemática na sala de aula?
Na investigação adoptei uma abordagem interpretativa, assente em técnicas de
índole qualitativa na análise e recolha de dados não estruturados, ou seja, numa
abordagem com características etnográficas. Nos instrumentos de recolha de dados
destaca-se a observação participante, envolvendo a realização de um diário do
investigador onde registei alguns dados relevantes da observação, bem como os registos
áudio/vídeo para uma compreensão mais fidedigna da actividade dos alunos, da
participação, da colaboração e interacções sociais emergentes em contexto de sala de
aula.
A análise de dados ilumina os contributos que o trabalho colaborativo pode ter na
construção do saber matemático dos alunos, quando estes assumem um papel activo e
participativo na aprendizagem, contribuindo com a sua experiência, saberes, capacidade e
atitudes na promoção de um ambiente colaborativo e democrático. A colaboração entre
os alunos evidenciou-se assim, através de um engajamento mútuo dos mesmos, num
esforço coordenado na resolução de problemas, partilha de ideias, tomadas de decisões
conjuntas, discussão matemática e negociação de significados, emergentes em
interacções sociais, fomentando uma aprendizagem matemática significativa.
This study aims to contribute to the understanding of how the mathematics teacher can design activities and promote community interactions in the classroom, using a collaborative work approach as the main method for the construction of mathematical knowledge while promoting collaborative learning. Accordingly to this, the present report describes and analyses how students act in a 7th grade classroom, addressing especially the emerging collaboration and interaction in this context, for it relies on four questions: (a) How to characterize collaboration in the Mathematics classroom? (b) How to relate collaboration with learning? (c) What role has the organization of activity in the classroom in the promotion of social interactions, which provide collaboration in the construction of mathematical knowledge? and (d) What strategies should be developed to promote collaboration in Mathematics classroom? In this research I adopted an interpretive approach, based on the qualitative nature of analysis and unstructured data collection, i.e., an approach that takes ethnographic characteristics. Data collection strategies included participant observation, and the the writing of an research diary, where I noted some relevant observation data, as well as audio/video records for a more accurate understanding of student's activity, and participation, emerging collaboration and social interactions in the context of the classroom. The analysis of data illuminates the contributions that collaborative work may have on the construction of students' mathematical knowledge, when they assume an active and participatory role in learning, contributing with their experience, knowledge, skills and attitudes in promoting a collaborative and democratic environment. The collaboration between students showed up well through a mutual engagement in a coordinated effort to solve problems, sharing ideas, joint decision-making, math discussion and negotiation of meanings, emerging in social interactions and promoting a significant mathematical learning.
