Laboratório de ensino de matemática: uma análise dos espaços práticos de ensino e aprendizagem das escolas do Centro de Estudos e Pesquisas Aplicadas (CEPA) - Alagoas

Abstract

The present text has the objective of presenting and disseminating the Mathematics Teaching Laboratories of the Center for Education and Applied Research (CEPA). To do so, this research was based on Lorenzato's requirements, detailing what it takes to have a quality laboratory and to promote excellence in teaching and learning. With a qualitative approach and an investigation in the meta-analysis were analyzed 10 schools of an educational Center taking into account the requirements for a Laboratory of Mathematics Teaching. Among the ten schools analyzed we had a complete center for all basic education, including the teacher training courses promoted by Seduc / AL. Generally speaking, most of the laboratories analyzed are able to attend primary and secondary school students, taking these activities as complementary to the teaching of the mathematical subjects worked during the school year. But on the other hand, the spaces for some laboratories are still to be desired, as they are not suitable in some cases, with moldy walls, chairs and tables not appropriate. But as to the manipulable materials found, we can conclude that in most of the schools observed, we can provide a quality class, because it allows the student to develop an investigative look required by the researches in general. According to the minimum requirements for the implementation of a mathematics teaching laboratory, the researchers consulted converge not only for suitable manipulable objects, but also for a space that provides a welcoming and pleasant environment that allows students to learn more efficiently. In this sense, especially regarding the manipulable materials consulted in the teaching laboratories, there has been a very positive agreement.
