ARE REGISTERS OF REPRESENTATIONS AND PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESSES ON FUNCTIONS COMPARTMENTALIZED IN STUDENTS' THINKING?

Resumo

O objetivo deste de artigo é duplo. Primeiro, é feito um resumo superficial de investigações sobre a compartimentação de diferentes registros de representação, e aproximações de resolução de problemas, apostas em relação ao de conceito de função. Em segundo lugar, traz elementos que clarificam as possíveis maneiras que permitem superar o fenômeno da compartimentarão. Investigações precedentes mostram que a maioria dos alunos do ensino médio e, mesmo de universidade, tem dificuldades para alterar, de maneira flexível, os sistemas de representação de funções, de escolher e utilizar aproximações adequadas à resolução de problemas. Os resultados de dois estudos experimentais prévios, levados a efeito por membros do nosso grupo de pesquisa, centrados no utilização de aproximações não tradicionais de ensino e sobre ou emprego de «software» matemático, fornecem pistas preliminares, quanto à maneira como pode ser superar com sucesso o fenômeno da compartimentação.
