O Processo de Ensino de Matemática no Atendimento Educacional Especializado na Região Amazônica: o que sugerem as pesquisas

Abstract

This study is linked to the research line “Curriculum, Teacher Training, and Teaching Knowledge” of the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT). It is based on the historical-cultural theory approach with a bias towards defectology and has the general objective of understanding the themes in the process of teaching mathematics in Specialized Educational Services (AEE), present in dissertations and theses from the Amazon Region, published in the Brazilian Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), between 2013 and 2023. To meet these objectives, the methodological approach takes the form of exploratory research, using a qualitative approach, developed from bibliographic research. Content analysis, using the categorical technique, was used to interpret the data. The results of the research revealed that the categories Pedagogical Practice, Teacher Training, and Learning constitute the main thematic axes of the dissertations and theses analyzed. The relevance of the production and use of pedagogical resources, the implementation of workshops, and teacher training were identified as central strategies for inclusive practices. In addition, it was found that mathematics learning, when mediated by differentiated and contextualized methodologies, encourages student participation and contributes to the promotion of a more equitable education. These findings offer an overview of the topics investigated, but also indicate challenges related to teacher training, the articulation between special education and mainstream education, and the scarcity of specific research on mathematics teaching in special education, highlighting the relevance of new research in this area.
