Resumo: This paper discusses how several teachers were involved in a distance in-service course inspired by the notion of teachers’ inquiry. The participants are middle and secondary school teachers who register and work with a partner. We provide case studies of three groups of teachers, tracing their professional development concerning mathematical investigations, reflection and collaboration practices. The three cases show strikingly different experiences. Some teachers adjusted well to the format and activities proposed but others had trouble in assuming an active role. We conclude that reading, discussing, doing open-ended tasks, reflecting and collaborating are powerful activities but require a specific readiness.

Os participantes são professores dos 2.º e 3.º ciclos do ensino básico e do ensino secundário que se inscreveram e trabalharam com um parceiro. Apresentamos estudos de caso de três grupos de professores, anotando o seu desenvolvimento profissional no que respeita a investigações matemáticas, reflexão and práticas de colaboração. Os três casos mostram experiências notavelmente diferentes. Alguns professores ajustaram-se bem ao formato e actividades propostas mas outras tiveram dificuldade em assumir um papel activo. Concluímos que ler, discutir, realizar tarefas de natureza aberta, reflectir e colaborar são actividades poderosas mas requerem a uma certa preparação prévia.Repositório da Universidade de LisboaPonte, João Pedro daSantos, Leonor2011-09-12T12:57:10Z20052005-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/4072engPonte, J.
