Mapping of brazilian productions about use of Mathematical Modeling in the teaching of Differential and Integral Calculus

Abstract

This article presents results of a research about how Mathematical Modeling (MM) presents itself on academic researches that use MM on teaching and on the learning of Differential and Integral Calculus (ICD). As a methodological approach, Mapping in Educational Research procedures were used. The data were constituted from the selection of ten surveys published in three databases. For the analysis, five categories were initially established: a) theoretical references of the research; b) investigated problems/research interests; c) methodologies used; d) main results; and e) perspectives of continuity of the study. The study allowed us to identify the relevance of the use of methodological procedures such as MM in the teaching and learning of the CDI discipline. It was also verified that the use of this methodology allows the students to feel more interested in the learning of this contents covered on discipline.
