This article is an excerpt from the master's research related to a Didactic Engineering with the theme of Constant Amortization System and French Amortization System for the development of didactic situations related to the content of Higher Education Financial Mathematics, and which allows the use of the HP 12C financial calculator emulator. Currently, these amortization systems are being used by Brazilian financial institutions for real estate financing. The objective was to investigate how students of Administration and Accounting apply the mathematical knowledge of amortization in situations by using financial calculators. The methodological approach followed the Didactic Engineering steps, both for the construction of the didactic sequence and for its application and validation. The results indicate that the elaborated didactic sequence contributed to the development of the proposed mathematical content, as well as handling and the ways of dealing with the financial calculators in situations involving the amortization calculations.
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.
