Atividades de modelagem matemática desenvolvidas no olhar do modelo semâtico-contextual de tikunoff

Abstract

Modeling Mathematics has been applied in Brazilian classrooms since the 1970s, period of which many studies have been conducted with this pedagogical proposal. This paper deals with the development of Modeling activities in a Computer Science Bachelor Degree class in a Campus of the Federal Institute of Maranhão in the second semester of 2017. In these activities, we sought to identify the influences of the three variables from the Tikunoff’s semantic-contextual model with two students in their educational process. Thus, recordings were made during classroom activities, as well as extra-class meetings held by students. Subsequently, the dialogues were transcribed for analysis, in addition to the researcher's observations during the activities. It was a qualitative research identifying the situational, experiential and communicative variables that influenced the development of the Modeling Mathematics activities performed by the students who participated in the study. It was observed that the identification of the variables of this model contributed to understand the development of teaching and learning process using modeling activities in the classroom.Keywords: Modeling Mathematics.
