摘要:The aim of this study is to analyze mathematics education in a course of Pedagogy (pre-service teacher training for the first school years). The focus of analyse was to search for change evidences in future teachers' knowledge regarding the four arithmetic operations and the methodologies to teach these operations. For this, we analyzed a formative experience based on reflective and investigative activities, including students' written narratives on their learning process. The writing was done in two stages: first individually and second in a collaborative group. These writings were complemented by reflective writings of the educator-researcher. Students' reflection focused primarily on how the arithmetic operations were performed using mental calculation and algorithms. Next, different procedures and reflections were discussed with the whole class, producing new approaches to algorithms' teaching. The results showed that the learning narratives of future teachers developed their self-confidence, a more positive relationship with mathematics, and provided a better understanding of themselves, helping them to question and to reconstruct their knowledge about the operations with natural numbers and different methods to teach these operations
