Transposition Teaching Algebra in Engineering. The Case of Linear Equations Systems
by Silvia Elena Ibarra Olmos at the Center for Research in Applied Science and Technology (CICATA), Instituto Politecnico Nacional, Mexico.
SUMMARY:
This paper presents a study of changes that you have a knowledge of algebra, the reference to systems of linear equations, from which is included in an engineering curriculum until it is staged in classroom. This process of change is an example of the phenomenon known as transposition in Mathematics Education Teaching, which consists, in general, in the series of transformations that it undergoes a mathematical knowledge to move from one institution to another. From then on the acceptance of the existence of transposition, we looked at to characterize the micro level, for which we use some approaches that are part Approach ontosemiotic of Cognition and Instruction Mathematics: the notions of referential meaning, Meaning and Significance Intended Implemented, each of which is described by paths and epistemic and educational settings. This approach allowed us to perceive what and in what way were the changes that occurred to the systems of linear equations, in addition to its impact on the algebra curriculum of engineering students at a public university in Mexico.
