The production of texts in Mathematical Modeling speeches: possibilities and implications for pedagogical practices and teacher training

Abstract

In this article, our objective was to identify and analyze what and how the texts of the Mathematical Modeling discourse can be developed in the pedagogical practice and its implications in the formation of teachers. To this end, we selected scientific papers from the last three editions of two events in the country, the National Conference on Modeling in Mathematics Education and the International Research Seminar in Mathematics Education, which specifically bring together the entire community that researches on Mathematical Modeling. The research has a qualitative approach, inspired by Basil Bernstein's model of description language. From the analyzed texts, we observed that there are different possibilities to develop modeling activities and these different possibilities have different approaches: focus on content, focus on technology, focus on ethnomodelling, which allows the teacher to create different opportunities for learning students.
