Um estudo sobre a hora-atividade como espaço de formação e organização do trabalho docente de professores que ensinam matemática nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This research aimed to understand the possibilities that open up in the Activity Hour (a moment in the working journey dedicated to the correction of assessments/tests, planning and study, granted by Law), as a space for training and organizing the teaching work of teachers who teach Mathematics in the early years of elementary school in the city of Piraquara-PR. We sought, through interviews, to listen to three classroom teachers, a pedagogical coordinator and a trainer from the Municipal Department of Education, about how they experience the Activity Hour. Therefore, qualitative research was carried out, using Oral History as a methodology. From the interviews, we created narratives that were analyzed through an analysis of singularities and a brief look at the convergences regarding the Activity Hour as a space for training and organizing teaching work, together, above all, with the law. Our analysis reveals the importance that teachers, coordinators and trainers place on Activity Hour, highlighting this as a privileged and necessary space for training, planning and evaluation, as set out in Law 11.738/2008, in addition to pointing to the potential that the work developed at this moment has (or can have) on student learning. When narrating their experiences at Activity Hour, the interviewees consider the training moments offered at the Municipal Department of Education to be relevant and highlight (emphasize) the time that is dedicated to planning. They also reveal the need for more specific training, especially with regard to Special Education. As an educational product, we present a manual in the form of a booklet, in which we gather information about Activity Hour, as stipulated by law, establishing a conversation with the interviewees (represented by avatars) mobilizing selected excerpts from their respective narratives, about how they experience the Hours of activity in the municipality where they work as teachers, coordinator and trainer. The objective of the educational product is to share information and experiences related to Activity Hour and contribute só that, increasingly, this teaching achievement can be respected and valued.
