Uma proposta de atividade de estudo dos conceitos de potenciação e radiciação na perspectiva do ensino desenvolvimental de Davydov

Abstract

The present work aims to present as a proposal of activity to study the concepts of potentiation and radiciation in accordance with the assumptions of Davydov's Developmental Teaching, aiming to be a suggestion of didactic material for the use of teachers in mathematics classrooms in the final years of elementary school. This is a bibliographic research of qualitative nature that was organized in three stages. In the first one, a study of the Historical-Cultural Theory was carried out with a view to understanding the basic assumptions for understanding the Davydov theory, followed by an in-depth study in the proposal of this author for the development of the study activity. The second stage discusses the difficulties faced by students during the teaching-learning process of mathematical theoretical-scientific concepts and a logical-historical survey of the concepts of potentiation and radiance is made seeking to understand the trajectory, conditions and historical and social needs in which the concepts were formed, also bringing an approach to the use of digital technologies by students and the potentialities of the use of minecraft game in the teaching-learning process of the concepts of potentiation and radiciation. Based on the foundations carried out in these two stages, a study activity was elaborated and organized in the third stage with a view to forming the concepts of potentiation and radiance with the help of the game Minecraft. Despite being a proposal that has not been executed in the classroom, it is expected to support teachers who wish to escape the traditionally instituted teaching, bringing a new way of seeing and doing mathematics on the part of students.
