Descrição
Resumo:This article presents research aimed at understanding how teachers' questions in mathematics classes require students’ verbal participation. It is a qualitative study with data collected through observations. The study had the participation of two middle school math teachers, each with distinct profiles regarding their pedagogical practices. Data analysis indicates that the communication established through mathematics teachers' questions in class followed patterns, such as the sandwich and the question-and-answer game patterns and instances of lack of verbal participation. The relationship between teachers' questions and students' verbal participation reveals that the adopted learning environment highly influences classroom communication.
