Histórias da posição cientifico-acadêmica da educação matemática no brasil: sistematização e perspectivas

Abstract

This text aims to present a characterizationabout researches that center their interest in the production of historical reflections –or, which occasionally deals with historicity –upon the scientific-academic position of Mathematical Education in Brazil. In addition to a set of reflections, it was possible to establish five categories: a) Studies that discuss the constitution and consolidation of Mathematical Education as a professional and scientific field; b) Reflections on the construction of organized societies, based on a political-institutional performance; c) Studies which aim to understand the formation of study and research groups, as well as the working field in Mathematical Education; d) Reflections that lead to an analysis of the Mathematical Education's insertion in Post-Graduation Programs in Brazil; And e) Reflections that, when discussing dimensions of research in Mathematics Education, touch upon questions of the historicity in this area of research. With the elaboration of this study, we intend to encourage reflection on how the Mathematical Education has been dealing with this kind of discussion, in order to allow research perspectives to be highlighted as well as other topics of historiographic nature to be placed.
