Pesquisas sobre o estudo de funções com tecnologias digitais nos dois últimos Enems

Abstract

In the current scenario of Brazilian education, the importance of digital technologies for teaching becomes great. In this sense, the work presented here aims to investigate: the characteristics assumed by the researches related to the study of functions in Basic Education with Digital Technologies, the most relevant mathematical concepts, their frequency, the software used, the methodology and the approach given to the theme for the Brazilian research published in the annals of the last two ENEMs (National Meeting of Mathematical Education). The research in question is qualitative that considers the documentary analysis for the constitution of the data. For this, 33 works published in the Annals of the XII ENEM (2016) and 22 works published in the Annals of the XIII ENEM (2019), which deal with the study of functions, were analyzed. Data collection took place using an instrument that aimed to raise the essential characteristics in the search for an answer to the research problem. The data, in turn, were organized in tables, from which they were analyzed and presented in content categories also from graphs. In this sense, it was possible to identify the theoretical framework, the research methodology used, the characteristics of each activity developed, the digital technologies used and the approach given to the topic under study, aspects that stood out most in the works present in the ENEMs. There was also an increase in efforts dedicated to the Training of Teachers of Mathematics and Higher Education in addition to Basic Education, as well as the study of functions and instruments that help them, such as Digital Technologies, especially with the GeoGebra software.
