Three PECEM supervisors are part of the group: Sergio de Mello Arruda, Marinez Meneghello Passos and Fabiele Cristiane Dias Broietti, being responsible for its coordination. The group has collaborated with researchers from other institutions in Brazil (mainly from Paran\u00e1) and abroad, such as the University of Aveiro (Portugal) and the Mozambican universities UniLicungo and UniRovuma. In recent years, it has dedicated itself mainly to investigating teacher action, student action and their connections, trying to understand what teachers and students actually do in the classroom. This research program, called PROA\u00c7\u00c3O, has two general questions: a) What teacher and student actions are observed in Science and Mathematics classes in basic and higher education, how can they be interpreted and in what ways do they connect? b) What implications for teaching, learning and teacher education can be drawn from the results found? Qualitative analyzes (discourse analysis, content analysis, textual discursive analysis) have been adopted as general methodologies for data interpretation. The group is installed on the premises of the Museum of Science and Technology of Londrina (MCTL), a supplementary body of UEL, located on the campus, and is responsible for the activities of the Research and Development Sector of the MCTL.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research lines:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Teacher action, student action and their connections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teaching and Learning in Science and Mathematics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teacher education in Science and Mathematics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relationship to knowledge in the classroom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gecce2-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gecce2-1.png 599w, https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/gecce2-1-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><strong>GECCE \u2013&nbsp;Science and Education Cultural Studies Group<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coordinator:&nbsp;<\/strong>Mois\u00e9s Alves de Oliveira<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this group, we study and research the production of science through detailed studies of scientific activities from a more social rather than epistemological perspective. Our foundation is related to the sociology of knowledge, which believes in a constructionist and heterogeneous connection between scientific knowledge and social life. The engaged interest in this perspective aligns us with non-structuralist thinking and provides new insights and problematizations regarding social and natural determinants. This leads to activities and actions that align with the thought and posture commonly referred to as Cultural Studies (of Science).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The participants in the group are characterized by adopting non-paradigmatic strategies and thoughts, rejecting specific methodologies or any tradition that establishes its own discourse. This constitutes a field of research and study where the object, the informant, and the event are viewed as non-disciplinary, often taking positions that are antagonistic to other academic fields, particularly those considered disciplined or disciplining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GECCE is consistently concerned with examining cultural practices from the perspective of power relations, agonisms that permeate the articulations of culture, education, and knowledge. We aim to problematize science and scientists in their various hybrid and mixed dimensions of science in collective life, with history, flexibility, and culture; ultimately, making scientific activity more grounded in reality. We seek to understand how agreements are established, who holds the power to decide, and how &#8220;evidence&#8221; is constructed in scientific statements and the very condition of scientific production. The goal is to reach stable and reliable points of analysis that seek to overcome the scientific mysticism of a purely theoretical-cognitive system in scientific activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GEPPMat-LOGO.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GEPPMat-LOGO.jpg 890w, https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GEPPMat-LOGO-300x80.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GEPPMat-LOGO-768x205.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><strong>GEPPMat&nbsp;\u2013 MATHEMATICAL THINKING STUDY AND RESEARCH GROUP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coordinator<\/strong>: Angela Marta P.

In recent decades, research involving this thematic has grown considering both theoretical constructions and the development of empirical studies. The study group also encompasses these two fronts. Regarding theoretical aspects, on the one hand, the researches are directed to elements internal to mathematical modeling, such as, for example, the particularities of stages such as mathematization and validation, the authenticity of modeling activities as well as the competencies of students when developing this kind of activities. On the other hand, the interlocution of modeling with theories such as philosophy of language and semiotics is also investigated. Thus, the construction of an interface between semiotic and mathematical modeling as well as a look at mathematical modeling in the light of Ludwig Wittgenstein\u2019s thought are the interests of the group\u2019s participants. Regarding the empirical work, mathematical modeling activities are developed by the group participants as well as the development of modeling activities by the participants in their classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"305\" src=\"https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/gemfor-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/gemfor-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/gemfor-1-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/gemfor-1-768x244.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><strong>GEEMFOR <\/strong>&#8211; <strong>STUDY AND RESEARCH GROUP IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION AND TEACHER EDUCATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coordinators<\/strong>: Bruno Rodrigo Teixeira and Edilaine Regina dos Santos<br><strong>Group Website: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/geemfor\">https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/geemfor<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong>: This study and research group aims to investigate elements, contexts, and actions that can contribute to teacher education in Mathematics, as well as investigate aspects related to the construction of student knowledge and the assessment of learning in Mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/encim-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/encim-1.png 769w, https:\/\/pos.uel.br\/pecem\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/encim-1-300x115.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><strong><strong>ENCIMAT \u2013 RESEARCH GROUP IN SCIENCE EDUCATION, MATHEMATICS EDUCATION, AND ICT\u2019S IN TEACHING<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Member<\/strong>: <\/strong>Gustavo Iachel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Group Website<\/strong>:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/encimat.ufpr.br\/portal\/pagina-exemplo\/\">https:\/\/encimat.ufpr.br\/portal\/pagina-exemplo\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong>: The Research Group in Science Education, Mathematics Education, and ICT\u2019s in Teaching (EnCiMaT) is linked to the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prppg.ufpr.br\/site\/ppgecemte\/pb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Graduate Program in Science Education, Mathematics Education, and Educational Technologies<\/a>&nbsp;at the Federal University of Paran\u00e1 \u2013 Palotina Campus.
