Resumen
THE MATHEMATICAL WORKING SPACES (MWS) THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK HAS DEVELOPED A GROWING INTEREST IN HOW MATHEMATICAL MODELLING IS
RECOGNISED, ANALYSED, AND ARTICULATED FROM ITS THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL SCOPES. GIVEN THE ARTICULATIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE LITERATURE, IT IS INTERESTING TO DETERMINE WHETHER NEW NETWORKS WITH THE MWS PROVIDE POWERFUL STRATEGIES FOR ANALYSING MATHEMATICAL MODELLING TASK RESOLUTION. OBJECTIVE: TO CHARACTERISE THE MODELLING ACTIVITY FROM THE
NETWORK COMPOSED BY THE BLOMHØJ MODELLING CYCLE AND THE MWS IN ENGINEERING
STUDENTS. DESIGN: THIS WORK IS A CASE STUDY WITH A QUALITATIVE APPROACH, WHICH ANALYSES
THE RESOLUTION OF A MODELLING TASK THROUGH THE PROPOSED NETWORK. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: THE EXPERIMENTATION WAS CARRIED OUT IN AN INTEGRAL CALCULUS COURSE FOR A COMPUTER CIVIL ENGINEERING CAREER AT A CHILEAN UNIVERSITY. MODELLING PRACTICES ARE NOT USUAL IN THIS SECOND-YEAR SUBJECT, ALTHOUGH ENHANCING THEIR USE IN PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IS NECESSARY. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: WE COLLECTED THE WRITTEN RECORDS OF THE STUDENTS, SELECTING ONE TO PERFORM THE IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS DUE TO ITS HIGH REPRESENTATIVENESS AND CLARITY, AS EVIDENCED IN THE DOCUMENTS. THREE STEPS WERE FOLLOWED TO CHARACTERISE THE MODELLING ACTIVITY IN THE WRITTEN RECORD: DESCRIPTION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION. RESULTS: THE BLOMHØJ MODELLING CYCLE MIGHT PRESENT
CONNECTIONS WITH THE MWS AT THE FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM AND NOT ONLY AT THE SYSTEMATISATION, WHICH IS A NOVELTY IN THIS FIELD OF RESEARCH. CONCLUSIONS: A NOVEL
