Problem Solving in mathematics teaching journals, in basic education in the period from 2015 to 2021: an analysis of the relationship between Problem Solving and critical-reflective training
Problem Solving, Mathematics Teaching and Critical-Reflective Training.
This work sought to analyze Problem Solving (PR) in journals in the area of mathematics teaching, in basic education, through the content analysis of articles published from 2015 to 2021 on the Sucupira Platform, and its relations with critical-critical training. reflective. The purpose of the study was to solve the following research problem: how is Problem Solving presented in journals in the area of mathematics teaching, in basic education, from 2015 to 2021?. To this end, the PR was analyzed in relation to periodicals in the area of mathematics teaching, in basic education, through the content analysis of articles published in the aforementioned time frame, in Plataforma Sucupira and its relations with critical-reflexive training. In the meantime, an attempt was made to investigate the themes present in publications on Problem Solving, based on previous and subsequent categories, to understand how the themes found on Problem Solving establish relationships with critical-reflective training, and a debate was taken on a Mathematics teaching that includes critical-reflective training from the perspective of Problem Solving. In this context, exploratory qualitative research was used. For data analysis, content analysis was used, and the technique was categorical or thematic, being the fastest and most effective in direct and simple speeches. For data collection, the Sucupira Platform was used as the research corpus, in which a search was made for journals with Qualis A1, A2, B1 and B2. After choosing the journals, searches were made for journals that were in a time frame (from 2015 to 2021), that were in Portuguese and that dealt with Teaching Mathematics. For the theoretical framework, an attempt was made to understand what the problems were and their possible interpretations. We also sought to understand Problem Solving and meet theorists who were and still are important for the construction and development of PR, thus understanding its historicity and its development over time. Still in the theoretical framework, it was important to understand what critical-reflective training was and the possible relationships with Problem Solving. For this context, teaching practices in mathematics teaching were important topics addressed in the theoretical framework. During the discussions carried out on the selected data, it was possible to observe aspects that relate the PR with the critical-reflective Formation, the aspects bring important contributions to the teaching of mathematics. Another point that resulted from this research is the important role that the teacher has in the performance of the PR, since the student's development will take place from the mediation of critical-reflective teachers, stimulating the student's critical and reflective capacity.
