Reflections on the Initial Training of Teachers who Teach Mathematics from the perspective of researchers from Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the reflections of the 7th Regional Forum on the Initial Training of Teachers who Teach Mathematics, organized by the SBEM-RS. The event was attended by researchers and teachers working in various contexts and levels of education in RS. The regional event sought to integrate and connect the various contexts of these trainers in the search for current Mathematics Education. The opening panel addressed national policies for training teachers who teach mathematics, as well as their challenges and proposals. This was followed by five discussion groups that dealt with various aspects, such as the knowledge inherent to teaching; the professional profile of teacher educators; public curriculum policies, Mathematics Education in Pedagogy degrees, and the education of indigenous, quilombola and rural educators. The reflections of the teacher-researchers were presented in a closing panel in which we noted the involvement and interest of the participants in the topics covered.
