Mathematical Modeling in Basic Education: a look at the curriculum
Abstract
This article aims to explain the forms of curricular organizations that support the implementation of Mathematical Modeling in Basic Education. In this sense, the guiding questions are: What is shown about Mathematical Modeling in Basic Education, concerning the curricular organization, in the analyzed articles? What form of curricular organization supports the needs for the adoption of Mathematical Modeling in Basic Education? In the pursuit of these questions, qualitative bibliographic research was carried out based on articles available in the Scopus, Scielo, CAPES Journal Portal (Portal de Periódicos da CAPES), Web of Science, and Science Direct data bases. The analyzes show concerns about the curriculum by authors who seek to use Mathematical Modeling within the scope of Mathematical Education. The results point out the critical and post-critical curricular theories as those that come closest to the students' training objectives through Mathematical Modeling.
