Report of a monitoring project: discussions on teaching and learning in basic education

Abstract

This article aims to report on a monitoring project, specifically on a discussion that took place in one of the discipline's forums, which dealt with the application or contextualization of the content of determinants. Voluntary monitoring took place between March and June 2021, in the discipline of Fundamentals of Mathematics IV, of the Licentiate Degree in Mathematics at the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia (UFRB). This discipline is mandatory, offered in the 2nd semester of the course. The Virtual Learning Environment – ​​UFRB in-person VLE, ​​was the classroom. In addition to the mathematical issues developed in the discipline, didactic reflections on teaching and learning were proposed, specifically on the contents studied, through scientific articles or experience reports. These texts were discussed in the discipline's forums. It can be seen that from the discussions, students, future Mathematics teachers, began to reflect on different methodological strategies that can be developed in the classroom in their future practices. In addition, the project allowed the monitors to critically reflect on teaching, and initiate research.
