Interpretação e comunicação em ambientes de aprendizagem gerados pelo processo de modelagem matemática

Abstract

This research aimed to observe, understand and describe the production of meaning through the interactions between students themselves, or with the teacher to develop mathematical modeling projects. The investigation was performed in a class of fifth graders of an Elementary School and Middle Federal Network for Education in the city of Belem do Para A participant observation technique was mainly used for collecting data, which were recorded by daily field, video-and audio recordings of lessons in capitated groups of students when they developed the proposed activities, thus providing the methodology adopted. Thus, the research, a qualitative, was characterized as a research participant. The theoretical framework that supported the research was composed predominantly of mathematics philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, who understands the language game as a way of life, emphasizing that the application of rules and their senses are part of the game, the concept of residual Gilles-Gaston Granger, which refers to the meanings that are beyond the formal mathematical texts, ie those aspects that escaped the meshes of linguistics, the concept of critical mathematics education, which refers to the political aspects of mathematics education and brings to debate, issues related to the theme power, which reflect the interactions among individuals in the cognitive act, establishing communication patterns, besides the authors dealing with the mathematical modeling in education. The analysis points to the production possibilities of learning environments appropriate to forward a communication pattern that plays its primary role in the teaching-learning: communication through speech or language games.
