Um estudo bibliométrico sobre a formação de professores que ensinam matemática

Abstract

The article aims to identify the scenario of scientific production on the training of teachers who teach mathematics from a bibliometric survey. Investigations about teachers who teach mathematics are essential for the improvement of the area of Mathematics Education, as they allow us to understand the challenges, obstacles and possibilities of pedagogical work with mathematics, especially in Kindergarten and Early Years of Elementary School. The bibliometric survey was conducted on the OasisBR platform of the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (IBICT). For this, we defined the following descriptors: "mathematics", "pedagogy" and "training" in "dissertation" type research published in the period from 2016 to 2021. Thus, for the composition of the article analysis, a total of fourteen dissertations were counted. The main results indicate a lack of research in the North Region, prevalence of qualitative research and predominant authorship of Pedagogy course graduates. Therefore, a bibliometric production contributes to scientific advancement, as it provides opportunities for researchers to identify the scenario of scientific production, supporting the development of innovative studies, in different perspectives within the training of teachers who teach mathematics.
