Álgebra linear como um curso de serviço: o estudo das transformações lineares

Abstract

In this work, we investigate which characteristics the discipline Linear Algebra must have to be considered a Service Course for a Major in Mathematics. We characterize this research by developing a qualitative research approach in which we put into practice a reading of interviews with students of a Graduate course in Mathematics Education, and besides, we developed, put into practice and analyzed a Seminary on Linear Algebra with students of a Mathematics course. The reading of the meanings produced by all involved in this research was developed taking as a reference the Model of Semantic Fields. The educational product, drawn from this research, is a proposal for teaching in linear transformation directed to students in Mathematics who are preparing themselves to be teachers, understanding the discipline Linear Algebra as a Service-Course.
