Resident at IEAT, Professor Samira Zaidan holds a degree in Mathematics, a master’s degree (1993) and a doctorate (2001) in Education from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Post-Doctorate at the Faculty of Education of the University of São Paulo (2016). She is currently an associate professor at UFMG and works in the Department of Teaching Methods and Techniques at the Faculty of Education in the Mathematics Degree, Rural Education Degree, Indigenous Teacher Training and Pedagogy. Member of the Graduate Program in Education: Knowledge and Social Inclusion (Master’s and Doctorate) and the Professional Master’s Degree in Education and Teaching (Promestre), both at the Faculty of Education at UFMG. It develops studies and research in the field of mathematics education on the following topics: teacher training, pedagogical practice, mathematical knowledge for teaching.
INTERDISCIPLINARY THEORETICAL BASES FOR MATHEMATICS TEACHER TRAINING.
The project aims to study relationships between Mathematics-Geography and Mathematics-Arts, seeking to highlight and systematize mathematical concepts involved in them, as integrating concepts of these disciplines. It is intended to contribute to expanding understandings of “mathematical knowledge for teaching” (BALL, Deborah, 2009), where mathematics content, teaching knowledge, values and emotions are not separated. As a summary, we will seek to systematize theoretical bases by articulating elements for understanding real world concepts, in order to contribute to the offer of didactic activities in the Degree in Mathematics, aiming at teacher training for basic school.
