O desenho geométrico como disciplina de curso de licenciatura em matemática: uma perspectiva histórica

Abstract

The present work aims at the historical study about the transformations suffered by geometric design discipline, throughout the course of degree in mathematics, created in the late 1960, at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, with the aim of identifying how education was taught this discipline, as well as the reasons that led to its withdrawal from the curriculum. The pillars that give theoretical-methodological basis to this survey are based on modern historiographical perspective proposed by the Annales School, represented in this context by the historian Marc Bloch. It will also use the studies of Michael de Certeau (2001) which brings reflections on everyday life in research, André Chervell (1990) refers to the history of school subjects, Ivor Goodson (1990) works that the evidence that elements permeate the constitution, organization and evolution of disciplines and schools or academic, and Alessandro Portelli (2010) that reveals the importance of using the interview as an instrument capable of achieving information that we could not have access only when working with documents. Thus, the guiding questions, this survey, were: what factors did it led to the disappearance of the geometric design discipline in the course of degree in mathematics from UFJF? Why was the Geometric design discipline in the course of degree in mathematics from UFJF with so much prestige, while at other times appeared so unappreciated? What does the practical need demanded by society contributed in the formation and stabilization of the geometric design discipline in teacher training courses of math? How did scientific knowledge related to geometric design participate in the demarcation of discipline? From the sources analyzed, curricula matrices, contents, curriculum teaching materials, legislation, interviews with students, teachers identify and others traces Geometric drawing education during the period from 1969 to 2009, pointing, elements that gave the discipline moments of prestige, as well as depreciation over time, analyzing the reasons that led to its extinction in the course curriculum of mathematics of UFJF. The main elements listed were: legal determinations; possibility of licensee in mathematics in act on Basic Education as professor of Geometric Design; the search for spaces, by the Mathematics Department in the curriculum matrix course degree in mathematics; the little communication between the departments responsible in giving disciplines to course degree in mathematics; the Design Department extinction and the later transfer of geometric design for the Mathematics Department; the conceptions regarding the geometric design relevance in the course of degree in Mathematics. Finally, this dissertation grants people think, at present, new looks for the design a training course for mathematics teachers.
