O Lesson Study e a formação inicial de professores de Matemática

Abstract

This work aims to present lesson study as a process of initial training for mathematics teachers in the Brazilian context based on a bibliographic research. Lesson study is the English translation of the Japanese term jugyou kenkyu; in Portuguese, the most commonly used translation is estudo de aula. Lesson study in international literature is recognized as a teacher training method based on collaboration and reflection among trained teachers and future teachers. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part, we present lesson study in the context of Japan and Brazil. In the second part, we examine academic studies presented at the I, II, and III International Seminars on Lesson Study in Mathematics Teaching, which describe some experiential reports from lesson study cycles.
