RESUMO

The teaching of Calculation has been object of diverse questioning in forums in function of the difficulties presented for the pupils in its learning. Inserted in this context, this research has as objective to use metaphors and multimedia resources in the elaboration of the Calculation s didactic material, aiming the improvement in the instruction process and learning in this discipline. The research was based on the perspectives of the embodied cognition, more specifically in the works of Lakoff e Núñez and in the David Ausubel s theoric/methodologic paradigm, entitled Significant Apprenticeship. In this way is better to stand out that this research did not intend to abandon the concepts developed by Newton and Leibiniz on the Calculation, but instead to search a mechanism to help the process of educations and learning on this discipline. The research culminated with the development of metaphors, being that these had been applied in the presentation of the Riemann Sum s contents and the Green, Stokes and Gauss s Theorems, And also to formalize the metaphor s composition, with the definition of a development of metaphor s process and the a tool development for metaphor s reation, storage and retrieval, notes from class and metaphor s elements. To the results validation of this research it was accomplished a study of case, with pupils of Engineering and Computer Science s Courses, where it could be perceived that the use of the metaphorsallows to a bigger understanding and a greater confidence in the learning by the pupils
