Creating/Using Didactic Sequences for Teaching Mathematics

Abstract

An Educational Product (PE) of teaching, resulting from a Professional Master's Degree, has great potential in the teaching and learning process, especially in the teaching of Mathematics. This article presents the development, application and evaluation of a Guide for the Development/Use of Didactic Sequences, as an PE, in the Postgraduate Program in Teaching Natural Sciences and Mathematics (PPGECNM) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The research, with a qualitative approach, used a questionnaire with 10 closed questions and 2 open questions, applied to 30 Mathematics teachers from the public school system of Maracanaú - CE. The results showed that most teachers agreed with the guidelines of the Guide and expressed interest in using it in the classroom, highlighting the importance of incorporating it in the initial and continuing training of Mathematics teachers. It is concluded that the Guide, based on the contributions of the teachers, can be useful in teaching work, recommending its dissemination and exploration in different contexts.
