Procesos de matematización vinculados a la influencia de la contaminación del Río Bogotá en el Río Magdalena y su relevancia en la formación de los profesores de matemáticas

Abstract

In the present degree work, a mathematization process linked to an environmental problem is addressed, focused on the training of mathematics teachers. Where, based on the experience of two undergraduate students in mathematics, a concern is formulated about how mathematization processes can be a means or tool in linking reality with mathematics, and how the execution of said process can be be a strategy implemented by teachers so that students give use and meaning to learning mathematics. Therefore, an environmental problem is presented where the influence of the pollution of the Bogotá River on the Magdalena River is analyzed, given its confluence. Consequently, different programs are used to carry out tests on the models used, both deterministic and stochastic, in order to verify and support the initial speculation, thus promoting that the appropriate application of mathematization processes can enrich the process of learning mathematics, promoting understanding of its relevance in real contexts.
