This paper maps the productions of the Mathematics Teachers Training generated by the Working Group on Mathematical Education in Higher Education, of the Brazilian Society of Mathematical Education. This investigation is aimed to analyze, among other aspects, the initial training of Mathematics teachers, the role of supervised internship practice and the development of the teaching professional. We sought to highlight the concerns that researchers, whose main field of interest is teaching in Higher Education, have about the initial and continued training of Mathematics teachers. We have identified, by means of Content Analysis, six pillars in which the topics presented in the body of the analysis are concentrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to discuss the conceptions about mathematics of the Elementary School student-teachers of a Pedagogy distance learning course, in which we performed a qualitative research while working in the disciplines related to mathematics. The virtual activities generated data which analysis revealed some aspects of mathematics conception as problem solving. It also emphasized the need to guide the teaching in the understanding and rationale of formulae, procedures, and algorithms. In addition, it pointed out that the student-teachers had reflected on and problematized their conceptions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
