História da matemática e tecnologias da informação e da comunicação no ensino de função

Abstract

This text describes a research in which guiding conceptions of the use of the History of Mathematics (HM) in the teaching of Function are presented, which resorts to the elements of the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) along with the Mathematical Investigation (MI) in the classroom, constituting a Professional Master’s Degree dissertation whose aim is to propose an Activity Book based on the articulation between HM and ICT, through MI, which contributes to the teaching-learning process of Function. In this sense, a qualitative research was carried out in two phases: the first one of a theoretical type through a bibliographic research, and the second one on a more practical basis, characterized by the perspective of action research. As a result, a historical overview of the concept of Function was outlined based on Youschkevitch’s perspective (1976), whose content was a reference to the development of the Educational Product which is an Activity Book designed for students of Basic Education in which the concept of Function developed throughout history with the support of the use of Geogebra software is addressed under the light of MI.
