Conteúdos de álgebra linear: metanálise de pesquisas na área da educação matemática

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of the considerations about the teaching and learning process of linear systems, matrices and determinants present in researches in the area of Mathematics Education. For this, it was based on the ideas of Ponte, Branco and Matos on the development of the algebraic thought and in the theory of the Registers of Semiotic Representation, developed by Duval, as far as the mathematical learning. The methodological option was a qualitative research in the form of a meta-analysis, since it allows to broaden the theoretical knowledge of the subject investigated, as well as opens the way for future studies. The mapping of the articles was done through a search in the electronic addresses of the journals and in the annals of the ENEM event, fourteen (14) articles were analyzed in detail. Through the data analysis, it was verified that most of the mapped articles sought to develop and analyze activities developed with students of Basic Education. As for algebraic thinking, the authors did not dedicate themselves to analyzing what characteristics of this thought were developed in the course of the research. It is understood that the productions can give more attention to the characteristics of this thought, in particular, in the elaboration of the teaching sequence.
