Argumentação e prova no ensino médio: análise de uma coleção didática de matemática

Abstract

The objective of this dissertation is to study the way that matters of argumentation and tests in a didactic collection for average education are dealt, and aims to contribute with the Argumentation and Test in Scholar Mathematics Project (AProvaME). This concerns a documentary research that aims, by means of the use of categories of the available literature related to the idea of argumentation and test, to investigate the matter: How the chosen collection deals with the Argumentation and Test issue. After the survey of tests and exercises presented in the didactic collection of some selected contents, we conclude that, in Algebra, the collection presents a pedagogical boarding that emphasizes the intellectual test. When the subject is Geometry, the emphasis is in the pragmatic test. In the point of view of the purpose of the exercises, the analysis showed that the tasks for learning of the writing predominate for both Algebra and Geometry. We observed that the characteristics presented in the tasks found in the collection confirm aspects we judged relevant when choosing the collection for analysis
