Active Methodologies in Math Teaching: overview of research developed in professional masters

Abstract

This article aims to present the mapping of researches developed in Professional Masters, which investigated the use of Active Methodologies in the teaching and learning processes of Mathematics. This mapping was structured in the perspective presented by Fiorentini et al. (2016) and considered researches made available in the Bank of Dissertations and Theses of CAPES, using the descriptor "Active Methodologies" and the Professional Master filter. Considering these criteria, 242 studies were identified, of which 240 addressed Active Methodologies. The segmentation of these surveys by area, resulted in only 16 studies (6.67%) reflecting the use of these methodologies in mathematics classes. For the analysis of these researches a categorization was carried out, according to the Active Methodology considered in the context of the analyzed studies. The analyzed data indicate a plurality of strategies, audiences and mathematical concepts involved in the implementation of Active Methodologies linked to the researches developed within the scope of the Professional Masters.
