Resumo

Este artigo aborda a questão da investigação empírica no campo do uso da história em Educação Matemática. Mais precisamente, foca-se no papel que a investigação empírica pode ter na discussão sobre como usar a história em Educação Matemática e o modo de o realizar. Isto é exemplificado, principalmente, a partir dos estudos de investigação empírica sobre o uso da história no programa de Matemática do "bachillerato Danés". Também se ilustra a forma como ambos, quer o desenho quer a metodologia de investigação destes estudos, dependiam do propósito inicial de usar a história como um objectivo mais do que como uma ferramenta. Finalmente, estabelecem-se perspectivas sobre os possíveis benefícios de aumentar a o número de investigações empíricas realizadas no campo do uso da história em Educação Matemática.
