Abstract
MOTA, Janine Freitas. Analysis of approaches to the Definite Integral in Brazilian research. Rev. Ensino Ciênc. Mat. [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.3, a08. ISSN 2179-426X. https://doi.org/10.26843/rencima.v14n3a08.
The study portrayed here is guided by the objective of understanding the approach given to the teaching and learning processes of Definite Integral in some Brazilian research. For data collection, 15 dissertations and theses were collected from two repositories, which were read and registered. The theoretical framework refers to the Ontosemiotic Approach, based on its facets: epistemic, mediational, interactional, cognitive, affective and ecological, which guided the analysis. As results, we identified that the works present fundamentals about the evolution of understanding of the concept of the Definite Integral; its results strengthen the importance of new studies and research with future Mathematics teachers, with the aim of improving their didacticmathematical knowledge and skills, which will certainly contribute to their future professional practice; and mediation processes enable the improvement of teaching work.
Keywords : Mathematics Education; Ontosemiotic Approach; Differential and Integral Calculus.
