A modelagem matemática no processo de ensino-aprendizagem

Abstract

The present work presents a research developed in the course of Mathematics - Licentiate at the Federal University of Pampa - UNIPAMPA, with the objective of investigating the teaching of Mathematics through modeling as an instrument for the teaching-learning process, this objective arose from the search for a Answer to the question about the capacity of the use of Mathematical Modeling in the production of a scenario that can aid in the cognitive processes and the production of meanings. For the development of the present work a bibliographical review was elaborated with consultation the scientific publications on Mathematical Modeling and Significant Learning, and a field research. For the field research, insertions were proposed in two middle-level public schools, one being a second-year class at the Polytechnic Secondary School and the other being the first semester of the Institute's Integrated Agricultural and Livestock Technical Federal. For the planning of the proposed activities, the specificities of the classes involved were considered and the themes of the problems were close to the reality of the students. Finally, aspects related to the observations made during the execution of the activities are discussed and a brief theoretical rescue was performed.
