The movement for a Rural Education still lacks investigations of methodological theoretical assumptions for the didactic field, based on the study of teaching practices that consider the object of knowledge and, at the same time, value the realistic/contextual aspect in which the student is inserted. From this perspective, we investigate the methodological theoretical implications of the theory of Realistic Mathematical Education (EMR) for the teaching of mathematics in the countryside school. Based on a qualitative methodological approach, a hypothetical learning path was elaborated based on the principles of EMR related to the teaching of analytical geometry, from the practice of soil modeling in passion fruit (passiflora edulis) cultivation. Our results point to the EMR as a promising methodological theoretical approach of didactic exploration to the countryside context capable of promoting formal reasoning, concepts in realistic situations, appropriation of mathematical language and potential for the development of concepts in the field of Cartesian geometry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
