No Brasil, no final da segunda metade do s?culo XX, pesquisas em Educa??o Matem?tica (EM) despontaram em v?rios Programas de P?s-Gradua??o. No estado do Rio grande do Norte (RN) n?o foi diferente, uma vez que a Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) possui Programas de P?s-Gradua??o que contemplam pesquisas nessa ?rea, a saber: o Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Educa??o (PPGED), vinculado ao Centro de Educa??o (CE) e o Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Ensino de Ci?ncias Naturais e Matem?tica (PPGECNM), vinculado ao Centro de Ci?ncias Exatas e da Terra (CCET). Neste contexto, elaboramos nossa quest?o-foco: Como iniciou e se consolidou a pesquisa em Educa??o Matem?tica, no Estado do RN? Para responder a esta quest?o, tra?amos como objetivo geral fazer uma descri??o historiogr?fica, no per?odo de 1995 a 2015, dos modos de institui??o e consolida??o de pesquisas em Educa??o Matem?tica presentes nos dois Programas citados. Isto posto, essa pesquisa se justifica pelo fato de, em 1995, ser criada no PPGED a Linha de Pesquisa intitulada Educa??o Matem?tica e, em 2002, desde a cria??o do PPGECNM, ter Linhas de Pesquisas que contemplavam pesquisas nessa ?rea. Para configurar esta pesquisa historiogr?fica, utilizamos a Hist?ria Cultural e as novas tend?ncias metodol?gicas da escrita da hist?ria, entendendo que esta se volta ao estudo da dimens?o cultural de uma determinada sociedade historicamente localizada (BURKE, 2011). Nossas fontes de pesquisa foram os documentos institucionais dos referidos Programas, esses vistos ? luz da teoria de Le Goff (2003), bem como os depoimentos dos professores que foram os percursores nas pesquisas em Educa??o Matem?tica na UFRN. Esses depoimentos foram colhidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas (LAVILLE; DIONNE, 1999), realizadas com eles, que, inclusive autorizaram, por meio de uma carta de cess?o, a divulga??o de seus verdadeiros nomes. Al?m disso, por estarmos em um Programa de um Mestrado Profissional, produzimos um v?deo, atrelado a nossa quest?o-foco, como Produto Educacional, que tem por objetivo informar e motivar os professores da Educa??o B?sica e graduandos da licenciatura em Matem?tica, quando formados, a lan?arem m?o de uma forma??o continuada, agregando a sua forma??o inicial melhorias salariais, culturais, sociais, entre outras, assim como fizeram os egressos do PPGED, da ?rea de EM. Ap?s an?lise e triangula??o das fontes (ALBUQUERQUE J?NIOR, 2007) vimos que no PPGED e no PPGECNM h? pesquisas que se voltam para a EM e percebemos que em cada um deles houve uma forma singular do desenvolvimento dessas. Vimos tamb?m que, no PPGED, a Linha EM foi inserida pela Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior (CAPES) na estrutura do Programa em fun??o da exist?ncia dos projetos de pesquisa que estavam sendo desenvolvidos pelo ent?o professor do PPGED, PhD John Andrew Fossa. As contribui??es deste professor ajudaram significativamente na cria??o da Linha EM, como tamb?m ampliaram novas possibilidades de pesquisas em Educa??o Matem?tica no RN, conforme podemos visualizar a partir de uma ?rvore geneal?gica (MENDES, 2015a) que constru?mos, mostrando alguns egressos, orientandos do professor John Andrew Fossa e de outros professores contratados pelo Departamento de Matem?tica da UFRN, que tamb?m contribu?ram de forma significativa para o avan?o na pesquisa na ?rea de EM. Nossas an?lises tamb?m mostraram que, atualmente, h? egressos do PPGED que d?o continuidade ?s pesquisas na ?rea de EM no ?mbito da UFRN. Por fim, ao contarmos essa hist?ria, esperamos ter contribu?do para o entendimento do percurso, da constitui??o e da consolida??o da pesquisa em Educa??o Matem?tica no RN.
In Brazil, at the end of the second half of the twentieth century, research in Educa??o Matem?tica - EM (Mathematics Education) emerged in several Post-Graduate Programs.In the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) it was not different, since the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN (Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte) has post-graduate programs that contemplate research in this area, namely: the Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Educa??o - PPGED (Post-graduate Program in Education), linked to the Centro de Educa??o - CE (Education Center) and the Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Ensino de Ci?ncias Naturais e Matem?tica - PPGECNM (Post-graduate Program in Teaching Natural Sciences and Mathematics), linked to the Centro de Ci?ncias Exatas e da Terra - CCET (Center of Exact and Earth Sciences). In this context, we elaborated our question-focus: How did the research in Educa??o Matem?tica (Mathematics Education) start and consolidate in the State of RN? In order to answer this question, we have as general objective to make a historiographical description, from 1995 to 2015, of the ways of institution and consolidation of research in Educa??o Matem?tica (Mathematics Education) present in the two Programs mentioned. Therefore, this research is justified by the fact that in 1995 the Research Line was created in PPGED entitled Educa??o Matem?tica (Mathematics Education) and in 2002, since the creation of the PPGECNM, there were lines of research that included research in this area. To configure this historical research, we used the cultural history and new methodological trends in history writing, understanding that this is about the study of the cultural dimension of a certain historically located society (BURKE, 2011). Our sources of research were the institutional documents of these Programs, those seen in the light of Le Goff's theory (2003), as well as the statements of the professors who were the forerunners of research in Educa??o Matem?tica (Mathematics Education) at UFRN. These statements were collected through semi-structured interviews (LAVILLE; DIONNE, 1999) with them, including authorizing, through a letter of assignment, a disclosure of their real names. In addition, because we are in a Program of a Professional Master's Degree, we produced a video, linked to our question-focus, as Produto Educacional (Educational Product), which aims to inform and motivate Basic Education teachers and undergraduate students in Mathematics, when graduated, to take on a continuous formation, adding to their initial formation salary, cultural and social improvements, among others, as did the graduates of PPGED, From the EM area. After analyzing and triangulating the sources (ALBUQUERQUE J?NIOR, 2007), we have seen that in PPGED and PPGECNM there are researches that turn to EM and we noticed that in each of them there was a unique form of the development of these. We also saw that in the PPGED, the EM Line was inserted by the Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior ? CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) in the structure of the Program due to the existence of the research projects being developed by the PPGED professor, PhD John Andrew Fossa. The contributions of this professor helped significantly in the creation of the EM Line, but also expanded new possibilities of research in Mathematics Education in the RN, as we can see from a genealogical tree (MENDES, 2015a) that we built, showing some graduates of the master's degree, masters orientated by Professor John Andrew Fossa and other professors hired by the Departamento de Matem?tica da UFRN (Department of Mathematics of UFRN), who also contributed significantly to the advancement in research in the field of EM. Our analyzes also showed that, currently, there are graduates of the PPGED who continue the researches in the area of EM within the UFRN. Finally, as we tell this story, we hope to have contributed to the understanding of the course, constitution and consolidation of the research in Educa??o Matem?tica (Mathematics Education) in the RN.
