This study investigates the beliefs of prospective mathematics teachers about the use of the vaivém as a pedagogical and formative tool. The study was conducted with undergraduate students from a public university in Paraná, who experienced the online vaivém during mathematics teacher education courses in 2024 and 2025. Based on the participants’ experiences and reflections, perceptions were identified regarding the vaivém’s potential to foster listening, reflective writing, and closer relationships between teacher and student, or between teacher educator and (future) teacher in training. As a result, it is inferred that the vaivém can be an important tool for the education of (future) mathematics teachers and students, mainly because it allows for more personal and reflective exchanges. For future research, it is suggested to investigate how it can be used in other areas of knowledge or at different stages of teacher education, as well as in combination with methodologies that encourage active student participation.
