Desafios encontrados por professores para o ensino e a aprendizagem de matemática para crianças do 1° ano do ensino fundamental após pandemia

Abstract

The interest in developing the research work arose due to the researcher's curiosity about the difficulties that students and teachers had with this in-person return, having to overcome gaps and challenges present in teaching and learning in mathematics teaching. In view of this, a more in-depth study on the subject becomes necessary. The present research work aims to analyze the challenges encountered by first-year elementary school teachers in the development of children in mathematics teaching in a private school, located in the center of Juiz de Fora, in the post-pandemic period. The following question was considered as a problem: What are the challenges encountered in the development of students in mathematics content after the pandemic period? The research was a qualitative study, with the process being the main focus, in which the understanding, explanation, presentation and interpretation of phenomena were essential, with the focus of interest being a current phenomenon, which can only be analyzed within the context of real life, in which an exploratory and descriptive approach was adopted, open to discoveries. The research was conducted with two teachers – Karla and Karina – from the first year of Elementary School. The data production instruments were interviews and conversations with the participants. Taking into account that with the return of in-person classes there were still students with gaps in the teaching and learning of mathematics, the teachers had to reinvent themselves and go back to content already taught so that this difficulty could be overcome, because as they had just returned to school, where many had not even studied in person yet, they had to adapt. By interacting with their colleagues, both were able to understand how to live socially. Thus, the teachers had to make the students stay attentive, interested and motivated, using various resources, to try to help and minimize some of the damage caused
