O uso de tecnologias digitais no desenvolvimento de atividades de modelagem matemática

Abstract

In this work, I have investigated the use of digital technologies in the development of Mathematical Modeling activities by students of undergraduate course graduation in Mathematics. So I conducted a qualitative research, collecting data Experimental Laboratory of Mathematical Molding (EMML/CUNCAST/UFPA), of which found record (physical, digital, audiovisual) produced by graduate students of the Mathematics Degree course that have developed Mathematics molding activities. For being records from different documentation and recording techniques, I opted for the ‘data triangulation’ for the analysis of these records. Gather and analyze daily records and presentations records allowed to choose three mathematical modeling activities. With the description of these activities could analyze them in two stages. In the first stage by putting moments development mathematical modeling activities in which there was the use of digital technologies, or at times when students because of this use made decisions that impacted the mathematics molding process. In the second stage, bring clippings extracted from the first stage, in which establish informed in Lévy, Asmann and others. This analysis showed, in the interaction between students and teacher mediator with digital and computer models, decision making opportunities on the routes to be followed in development of mathematical modeling activities. Another strong aspect and placed in the discussions was the gain in thematic feasibility of recent research that Mathematical Modeling had with the popularization of the Internet as a source of research.
