Entrelaçamentos entre economia e educação matemática: PPCs de licenciatura em matemática.

Abstract

The dissertation is part of the Line of Research Curriculum, History, Culture and Mathematics Education and discusses the relations between Economics and Mathematics Education. Question: how do the current curricula, expressed in the PPCs of Mathematics Degree at UFPel, consider Economics and Mathematics Education? It problematizes the PPCs of degree in Mathematics at UFPel, considering the intertwining between Economics and Mathematics Education. Qualitative research, with analysis of two documents: PPCs of Degree in Mathematics of the diurnal (2019a) and nocturne (2019b). The materials were organized into two themes: Society and current topics and labor market, subdivided into 4 meaning groups: demands of society; current topics; demands of the labor market; and position in the labor market. In the theme Society and current topics, we highlight the intention of the PPCs to build a Course that seeks to meet the demands of society and the collectivity, and to train professionals with capacity for reflection and critical awareness. In the theme Labor market, it is pointed out the concern to describe the characteristics of the labor market and to produce graduates with skills related to autonomy and rapid adaptation, in to compete in the labor market. It is discussed that PPCs can be a source of maintenance of the status quo or generators of changes, so there is a need to tension the relations between Economics and Mathematics Education, to reflect on the changes in the documents, in the current curricula, expressed in the PPCs of Mathematics Degree at UFPel.
