Modelo dos campos semânticos: análise da produção de significados de polinômios através da resolução de problemas

Abstract

This paper had the primary goal to analyze the production of polynomial meanings in the 8th grade of Elementary School during the stages of the Teaching-Learning-Assessment Methodology of Mathematics through Problem Solving. In order to achieve this goal, a didactic sequence was elaborated based on the assumptions of the Semantic Field Model and Problem Resolution with the proposal of building the concept of polynomials. This research was based on the assumptions of the qualitative approach and the action research. Data collection was performed during the application of the applied didactic sequence at the Montividiu Elementary School Armando Gomes da Fonseca, through observation and registration of the researcher. According to meanings production, it was found that the Teaching- Learning-Assessment Methodology of Mathematics through Problem Solving contributes to the construction of knowledge of polynomials. As an educational product, we present the didactic sequence applied in order to assist other teachers and extend this methodology to other content.
