Estado da arte do método de resolução de problemas no ensino da matemática: publicações em periódicos brasileiros de 2016-2023

Abstract

Conducting problem solving research is crucial to driving innovation, improving education, developing essential skills, and addressing the social and global challenges of the moment. Thus, in this state of the art research, a survey was carried out of Brazilian productions on problem solving, found in articles in Mathematics Education magazines, classified as Qualis A by CAPES, with the aim of identifying what the theoretical foundations are. used by the authors in these materials. From a systematic review of the literature, 113 articles were found that constituted the data corpus, to be analyzed following Content Analysis techniques, from which it was possible to identify ten categories. The main results reveal that most of the articles are based on problem so lving steps or strategies, bringing Pólya, Onuchic, Allevato, Schroeder and Lester as the main theorists. This note can contribute to future research that wishes to carry out research on problem solving, especially with regard to theories and theorists about this area of knowledge.
