| Abstract: | O presente trabalho investigou a inovação em Educação Matemática a partir da perspectiva pedagógica da Escuela Pedagógica Experimental - EPE, escola colombiana que pratica inovação educativa há 40 anos. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir da vivência, observação e análise de aulas de Matemática, do ambiente pedagógico da escola, do seu contexto e das Actividades Totalidad Abiertas – ATA’s, princípio pedagógico construído pela escola para o desenvolvimento de todas as atividades realizadas com seus alunos. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de leituras de textos produzidos pela escola, por entrevistas livres e semiestruturadas e pela observação das aulas de três professores de Matemática, que trabalham em três níveis de escolaridade diferentes. Esta pesquisa é um estudo de caso em uma abordagem qualitativa. Para a coleta e interpretação de dados utilizou-se o Método do Caminho, desenvolvido por Edgar Morin para pesquisas apoiadas na Teoria da Complexidade e a Análise Textual Discursiva, segundo Moraes e Galiazzi (2011).
The present work investigated the innovation in Mathematics Education from the pedagogical perspective of the Escuela Pedagógica Experimental – EPE, a Colombian school that has been practicing educational innovation for 40 years. The research was carried out from the experience, observation and analysis of Mathematics classes, the pedagogical environment of the school, its context and the Actividades Totalidad Abiertas – ATA’s, pedagogical principle built by the school for the development of all activities carried out with its students. Data were obtained through reading of texts produced by the school, free and semi - structured interviews and observation of the classes of three mathematics teachers, who work in three different levels of schooling. This research is a case study in a qualitative approach. For the collection and interpretation of data, we used the Way Method, developed by Edgar Morin for research supported in Complexity Theory and Discursive Textual Analysis, according to Moraes and Galiazzi (2011).The thesis is defended that the teaching of Mathematics must occur in an integrated way to a broad, complex and transdisciplinary environment of research and problem solving, in which this science assumes the role of a useful tool to explain phenomena and objects of the world. To support this idea, we propose six guiding principles for the teaching of Mathematics in an innovative perspective. The results show that the innovation in Mathematics Education, developed in the Escuela Pedagógica Experimental of Colombia, is a complex and transdisciplinary process that bases the collective construction of knowledge in a research and problem-solving environment. The main implication of the results is that the adoption by schools of an innovative perspective of Mathematics Education integrated with other areas of knowledge, with emphasis on the development of complex thinking in which the students are able to relate the mathematical knowledge learned in school to their reality. |
