TRIGONOMETRY IN INITIAL TEACHER EDUCATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Trigonometry is a topic that deserves studies in the initial training of mathematics teachers. The objective of  this  study  was  to  identify  and  analyze  theoretical  and  methodological  approaches  in  research  on trigonometric concepts in the initial educationof mathematics teachers. This is a bibliographical researchthat  was used  by  the  PRISMA  methodology,  based  on  the  selection  of  12  articles  that  address  the importance of exploring trigonometric concepts during the initial training of future mathematics teachers. The theoretical approaches Professor Thinking and Technological Media stand out, and the methodological approaches Theoretical Modeling and Cooperative Research stand out considering the selected articles. The results indicate the need for  initial teacher training to be guided by aspects of mathematical  modeling, educational technologies and two didactic-pedagogical resources
