Professional didactics and mathematics teacher training: a systematic review of research developed in Brazil

Abstract

This study presents Professional Didactics as a theoretical subsidy to the analysis of teaching work, with a view to improving the professional training of teachers. It brings reflections on its contribution to teacher education, with the general objective of knowing the research on professional didactics linked to teacher education in mathematics developed in Brazil. To this end, a study was initially carried out on Professional Didactics based on Pastré, Mayen and Vergnaud (2006), Pastré (2002), Tourmen (2014), among others. Then, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was carried out, in which sixteen Brazilian productions were identified, which met the pre-established criteria. The results revealed that, although there are still few studies that address the theme, the investigations have brought relevant theoretical contributions to the consolidation of this theoretical aspect as a subsidy to the training of the mathematics teacher.
