Online Instrumental Orchestration: perspectives for the initial education of pre-service mathematics teachers in the context of the supervised teaching practice

Abstract

The role of the supervised teaching practice in initial teacher education has been the focus of investigations in the area of mathematics education due to the emergence, in this scenario, of theoretical and practical knowledge for the professional performance of pre-service mathematics teachers. In this article, we aim to discuss the use of the notion of (online) instrumental orchestration as a theoretical-methodological proposal for the development of classes in the context of a supervised teaching practice. For this purpose, we present the components of instrumental orchestration, linking the theoretical and practical dimensions, to illustrate the data produced from the implementation of orchestrations by a pre-service mathematics teacher under the supervision of a teacher-supervisor, in an online class with students in the 6 th grade of elementary school at a federal public school. Among the results, we highlight the didactical configurations, the exploitation modes, and the didactical performances around using a digital artifact which made it possible to perform interactive simulations for the study of the equality relations, through collective work, in the remote teaching modality, between the participants of the research. In short, we found the importance of systematically planning the arrangement of the teaching environment for online classes in the context of supervised teaching practice.
