Temos o prazer de anunciar a publicação o online do artigo "The role of software Modellus in a teaching approach based on model analysis" (SOARES; BORBA, 2014) na edição n.14 do ZDM deste ano. O artigo analisa o papel do software Modellus em uma proposta de ensino de conceitos de Cálculo Diferencial para alunos de Biologia, os quais são discutidos com base na análise de um modelo matemático para um fenômeno biológico (transmissão da malária). O artigo estará disponí­vel gratuitamente até Setembro de 2014 através do seguinte link: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11858-013-0568-5.

 É importante que a Springer veja que houve interesse para que novas oportunidades como estas apareçam para o periódico ZDM, que normalmente cobra para que artigos sejam baixados. Baixe o artigo e divulgue esse anúncio entre colegas para que ele se torne viral. E é claro, critique-o, discuta, acrescente.....  Agradecemos, desde já, o seu interesse. Debora Soares e Marcelo C.

The role of software Modellus in a teaching approach based on model analysis

Débora da Silva Soares  Marcelo C. Borba

Abstract

We discuss some results of a study carried out over the past 4 years to investigate the role of Modellus, a software package, in the development of an approach to teaching calculus for Biology majors. The central idea of the teaching approach is to propose the analysis of a mathematical model for a biological phenomenon at the very beginning of the course, in a way that this analysis is interrelated with some of the mathematical concepts listed in the syllabus. In this paper, we focus on the role of the software during the development of one of the activities proposed to the students, the purpose of which was to discuss the relation between secant lines and the instanta- neous rate of change. It was found that this software played two roles in the development of this activity: providing information about the phenomenon and the model; and acting as a trigger, making evident to the student an important aspect that contributed to his understanding. Based on our theoretical perspective of digital technology, we believe that students’ interaction with the software played a fundamental role in the thinking collective composed of humans and media involved in mathematical learning
