Methodological workshops for the preparation of the Mathematics teacher in Technical and Professional Education

Abstract

Technical and professional education is responsible for the professional training of the qualified force that the country needs for production and services; the subject of Mathematics contributes to this end. This work addresses the theoretical, methodological and practical preparation of Mathematics teachers in Technical and Professional Education from the methodological workshops developed, as a necessity in the teaching-learning process, according to the demands of current improvement. The teachers participating in the research reveal insufficient preparation from a cognitive and procedural point of view, to structure the content, achieve its professionalization and contribute to the professional training of Middle Technicians. Methodological workshops are proposed, for the preparation of the Mathematics teacher of Technical and Professional Education, in the structuring of the content and its professionalization, with a methodological didactic structure that enables the treatment of the contents in close relationship with the specialty that is taught. works. For this purpose, interviews were carried out, a theoretical review of the main investigations on the structuring of the content and professionalization, the analysis of the contents, the teacher preparation system, the bibliographic review and the triangulation of methods and techniques as methodological resources. The quantitative and qualitative assessment of the results, after developing the proposed methodological workshops, made it possible to confirm significant advances in the preparation of Mathematics teachers with respect to the topic being addressed, and is part of the Thesis in Option to the Scientific Degree of Doctor in Educational Sciences.
