Modelagem matemática e aprendizagem de funções a partir de simulações computacionais: um estudo bibliográfico

Abstract

This article, titled "Mathematical Modeling and Function Learning from Computational Simulations: A Bibliographic Study", aims to analyze the contributions of research and works that use mathematical modeling, implemented in computational simulations, for the teaching and learning of functions in the school context. The study employs a bibliographic research approach, as it investigates and presents results from already published and verified works. It is also characterized as basic and qualitative, relying on established authors in the research field. Furthermore, two specific studies were defined as the corpus of analysis: I) Mathematical and Computational Modeling in the Function Content; and II) Teaching of Trigonometric Functions with the Aid of Mathematical Modeling and the GeoGebra Software. The findings indicate that mathematical modeling mediated through computational simulations stimulates logical reasoning, creativity, and student engagement, promoting more significant learning. We conclude that this integration between theory and practice contributes to a more dynamic and contextualized Mathematics teaching, relevant to social reality, thus strengthening students' critical thinking and autonomy.
