The Mathematical Work with the Derivative of a Function: Teachers’ Practices with the Idea of “Generic”

Abstract: This paper investigates the introduction of the derivative notion and, specifically, the introduction of the derivative function, as a significant moment in the development of mathematical work on functions. In particular, we analyse the process of genericization that two Italian teachers conducted with their grade 13 students, in order to make them shift from the derivative at a specific point x 0 to the derivative as a global function in the x variable. Specifically, we analyse the role of the teacher in the… Show more

“…Várias pesquisas têm se endereçado às atividades semióticas dos alunos no âmbito de aulas de Matemática (Panero, Arzarello & Sabena, 2016;Almeida & Silva, 2017). Resultados indicam que a aprendizagem, quando associada à produção e ação de diferentes signos, pode se constituir relativamente a uma variedade de representações e significados do objeto matemático.…”

“…Neste sentido, os recursos semióticos são também contextuais, sinalizando a pertinência de um espaço pessoal dos indivíduos num meio social. Panero et al (2016) neste contexto, argumentam que quando dois ou mais recursos semióticos convergem para uma mesma função no interior de uma atividade, o uso conjunto destes recursos favorece a ação comunicativa.…”

“…According to Hatisaru and Erbas (2017), the many meanings and representations of the function, concepts make it difficult for teachers to deal with them all and establish relations among meanings, and it comes even more complicated when the derivative is included, the more the meanings, the more complex for teachers to deal with the function topics. Panero, Arzarello, and Sabena (2016), report that "…the global perspective on the derivative function might be enhanced, but it is necessary to establish carefully the relationships between the graph and the semiotic resources (i.e., symbols and speech) through which the derivative function has been introduced, strengthening the meaning of the used signs and variables" (p.282).…”
