RESUMO

The objective of this study is to investigate and analyse the way teachers deal with/face error and difficulties situations inside the classroom. These situations ? both teacher s and students - arise on the process of teaching and learning of elementary algebra. The question that orients this investigation is the following: How the Teacher deal with/face errors and difficulties that arise in classroom situations involving algebrical activities ? ln order to answer the above question the classes of two 7 Sh grade teachers in the city of Campinas have been observed. The classes have been registered on a field diary and some of them have been recorded and transcribed. Chapter l describes the practice and ideas of the teachers that took part on this case study. After this, Chapter II analyses the various ways of dealing with errors by means of a number of episodes. Finally, Chapter III features a special episode in which the error is seen under a meaning-production theoretical perspective. Among other results, this study has shown the existence of three sources for the ongm of the errors on the classroom: students errors, teacher s errors and didactic material s errors. It has also shown that the errors that students do are a consequence of a school practice that favours much more the sintatic processes (relative to the use of rules) instead of the semantic ones (relative to the interpretation of the meanings negociated or instituted on class). There has been, however, variations on the teacher s way to deal with errors on class. Furthermore, the study has pointed towards the need of seeing the error not as a bad or negative thing, but instead as a consequence of a comprehension and signification try and hence has to be dealed with/explored in a pedagogic fashion by the teacher
