Abstract

The main objective of this work is finding out the innovations and their justifications within the Brazilian Professional Master Program in Mathematics (PROFMAT). A qualitative study is carried out by addressing a total of 29 works published from the first half of 2013 to the second half of 2014. It is concluded that the main kinds of innovation are: (i) incorporation of higher education content on basic education, and (ii) introduction of computational resources. The former is justified because it allows new ways of relating and addressing mathematical content, conducting relevant mathematical processes and doing more attractive the lessons to stimulate the students’ interest. The latter is justified by the fact that ICT motivates and stimulate lessons that contribute to facilitate conceptual understanding and problem solving.
