ZARPELON, EDINÉIA  and  RESENDE, LUIS MAURICIO. LEARNING THEORIES IN PUBLICATIONS IN THE ENGINEERING EDUCATION AREA: MAPPING FOCUSED IN THE CALCULUS I SUBJECT. Educ. rev. [online]. 2020, vol.36, e210405.  Epub Apr 26, 2020. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698210405.

The main aim of this paper was to identify which learning theories base the teaching acts and are also referred to the Calculus I subject. Therefore, a lift was made about the Brazilian academic production released in the Brazilian Congress of Engineering Education during 2010-2017. Thus, through a qualitative bibliographic research, 23 papers were selected to constitute this final investigation portfolio. Most results, was possible to notice, are of empirical nature (n=15), with exclusively cognitivist approach (n=17), in which Vygotsky was the most mentioned theorist (n=12), followed by Piaget (n=9) and Ausubel (n=5). Furthermore, there was a balance in the use of the works related to the bibliographic references specially in three productions: Pedagogy of Autonomy (FREIRE, 1996) Thought and Language (VYGOTSKY, 1989) and Mind in Society: The Development of Higher Psychological Processes (VYGOTSKY, 1998). Finally, the results suggest the predominance of papers without proper theoretical basis (n=13) or partially based (n=6), according to the criteria established in this research.

Keywords : Learning Theories; Calculus I Subject; Mapping.
