O ensino da matemática na engenharia e as atuais diretrizes curriculares nacionais: O modelo didático da matemática em contexto como possível estratégia

Abstract

This article aims to integrate documental and bibliographical research in its methodological approach to present prospects based in the Didactic Model of Mathematics in Context (MoDiMaCo), linked to the Mathematics in the Science Contexts Theory, to break new ground towards Mathematics development regarding training of future engineer, fulfilling the requirements expected by the current National Curricular Guidelines of the Engineering Undergraduate Program (DCN). Committed to comparer the different strategies assumed in the MoDiMaCo as well as the DCN, we synthetically analyzed the Brazilian background of training of engineers, reflecting about some features that support the guidelines, arguing about the different meanings that could the word competence assume. We also explained the meaning that we choose to work and correlate with the main characteristics of the MoDiMaCo. We identified the contributions of the mentioned model regarding the followed dimensions from the guidelines: The profile of the graduated student; the learning activities aiming to develop expected competences; the implementation of hosting and leveling systems; and the grading of activities performed by students. © 2021 Curriculo sem Fronteiras.
