Modelagem matemática como proposta de metodologia ativa através do ciclo de modelagem de Hestenes

Abstract

The literature presents active methodology and mathematical modeling (MM) as important tools for serving traditional classroom alternatives. Mathematical modeling has different conceptions isolated from the literature, which do not conclude its characterization as an active methodology. Thus, this work sought to analyze the Hestenes Modeling Cycle (CMH) through the application of a pedagogical intervention in order to find clues that can characterize as an active methodology. Thus, concepts about active methodologies (MA) are presented along with the definitions of MM and CMH. In it, the CMH steps are applied with the proposal to represent abstract works with geometric characteristics. In the end, there are enough aspects to configure CMH as an MA.
