MODELAGEM MATEMÁTICA EM EDUCAÇÃO MATEMÁTICA: POSSIBILIDADES PARA OS PROCESSOS DE ENSINO E DE APRENDIZAGEM / MATHEMATICAL MODELING IN MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION: POSSIBILITIES FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESSES

Abstract

In the literature of mathematical modeling, there are different procedures (steps or possibilities of approaches) to develop and explore it in mathematics teaching. This article aims to present and emphasize the essential possibilities to the mathematics teaching and learning processes, extracted from the literature and modeling activities developed in a degree course in mathematics. Methodologically, the study was supported by bibliographical and practical analyzes, qualitative research of an interpretative nature and a case study, using audiovisual materials such as software, Calc, Excel, Word, and online libraries. The data collections were derived from observation, intervention in the research and data analyzed and extracted from annotations, activities done by the subjects, consultations with the Ministry of Health, images, records, and questionnaires. Therefore, modeling presents several possibilities for the mathematics teaching and learning processes and its realization can take place in a natural way, meeting the conditions of the classroom and/or the extracurricular conditions, according to the clientele, environment, school reality, teacher preparation, mathematical concepts to be developed, resources available and goals to be achieved, focusing on learning.
