A SEMIOTIC VIEW OF MATHEMATICAL ACTIVITY WITH A COMPUTER ALGEBRA SYSTEM

Resumen

En este artículo defendemos la tesis de que un marco semiótico permite entender mejor como el uso de un Sistema Computarizado para Algebra (CAS) puede ayudar, o limitar, la actividad matemática. Este trabajo se sitúa en un marco teórico en el que hacer y aprender matemática es considerado un comportamiento semiótico. Partiendo de la noción de signo triádico (representamen, objeto, interpretado) desarrollada por Peirce, afirmamos que el uso de los CAS para cambiar de representamen (representación) en el estudio de un objeto matemático puede ayudar al estudiante a producir varios interpretados (interpretaciones) para este objeto. Esos diferentes interpretados, basados en diferentes representaciones, permiten un acceso epistemológico al objeto. Utilizamos la distinción de Duval entre conversión y tratamiento para distinguir las diferentes formas de actividad semiótica con los CAS. Ilustramos este argumento mediante un extracto del diálogo entre dos estudiantes universitarios mientras resuelven un problema matemático usando las CAS.
