The development of mathematical knowledge of prospective primary teachers in a lesson study
Résumé
This paper aims to understand how lesson study can promote the development of mathematical knowledge of prospective primary teachers. Following a qualitative approach, this study had the participation of four prospective teachers, two teacher educators and a researcher. The formative process focused on the topic of numbers and operations at grade 4. The results indicate that the prospective teachers may develop aspects related to knowledge of topics, structure of mathematics, and practices in mathematics when they participate in lesson study. This development occurs through the engagement in lesson study activities, such as solving and discussing adaptations of tasks and anticipating students’ strategies and their possible difficulties, that allow prospective teachers to deepen their knowledge; but also, through discussions among prospective teachers; and exchanging ideas, discussions, and clarifications with teacher educators.
