Geometria como um curso de serviço para a licenciatura de matemática: uma leitura da perspectiva do modelo dos campos semânticos

Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to identify characteristics of a Geometry Service Course for Mathematics Degree. It is a project in Mathematics Education, developed with focus on processes of Geometry‟s teaching and learning and on the professional formation of a Mathematics‟ teacher. The study is characterized by a qualitative approach, assuming the theoretical basis of the Model of Semantic Fields. It attempts to encourage different ways of meaning production in the classroom, particularly those related to visualization and graphical representation. A field research was conducted at a federal university during an academic period, when the researcher taught Plane Geometry and Space Geometry to graduate Mathematics‟ students. Our proposal is the inclusion of other geometries as well as the use of strategic alternatives methodologies instead of the traditional method of Geometry‟s teaching.
