Estruturas multiplicativas no 6º ano do ensino fundamental: um estudo na perspectiva da teoria dos campos conceituais

Abstract

The difficulties demonstrated by 6th grade elementary school students regarding the multiplicative field cannot be ignored in a teaching-learning process. Therefore, the results of a research developed with the objective of analyzing what knowledge 6th grade elementary school students demonstrate about multiplicative structures are presented. This is a qualitative research (Bortoni-Ricardo, 2017) that used a bibliographic review, direct observation and documentary analysis (Gil, 2008) to construct the data. The research participants were 28 students from a 6th grade elementary school class in the city of Parintins-AM. The results obtained indicate that, from the perspective of the theory of conceptual fields, the multiplicative structure should be taught by showing its different situations for the construction of the concept, evidencing the contextualization of reality, since a concept is not constructed from a single situation and in a situation, there are several explicit and implicit concepts.
