MESSAGES FROM PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE IN TEXTS OF EDUCATIVE CURRICULUM MATERIALS: AN ANALYSIS FROM THE INTERACTIONAL DIMENSION

ABSTRACT:

The aim of this paper was to identify and characterize the variations in the message that occur in the interactional dimension, regarding the school pedagogical practice represented in the texts of the educative curriculum materials. We used the qualitative method and document analysis as a procedure. Basil Bernstein’s theory was the theoretical-methodological framework, in particular, we used the concept of framing in the study. The results indicated that the geometry and algebra contents are noticeable, regarding what to teach and to how to teach, the reproductive sequential use of the mathematical task. Also based on the results, we identified that the message in texts of educative curriculum materials characterizes a strong control of the teacher in relation to the discursive rules, selection, sequencing, rhythm and evaluation criteria. There was a variation in control intensity, when teachers and students shared the resolution of the mathematical task. In addition, the teacher provided open communication and greater engagement to students during the teaching and learning processes.
