Songs in Mathematical Education: what the Bahia’s Encounteurs from 2013 to 2021 reveal?

Abstract

This work is the result of a research developed in the Lato Sensu Postgraduate Course in Mathematical Education at the University of the State of Bahia (UNEB), with bibliographic outline, and had the general goal of analyzing how the songs are approached in the academic-scientific productions published in the Annals of the Bahia’s Enconteurs on Mathematics Education in the period from 2013 to 2021. For this reason, a preliminary survey was carried out covering the period from 2013 to 2021, in which the last 5 (five) events took place. Of the works located and that presented the song as part of their theme, in a total of 10 (ten), it was examined whether there was the definition of a song, how the musical and linguistic aspects of the song were approached, and how these aspects were related to the process of teaching and learning mathematics. With the theoretical support of Tatit (2016), Caldas (2016) and Cavalcanti (2013), it was obtained as results, the identification of 6 (six) works that, in their majority, presented the definition of a song, focoused the analyzes on the linguistic aspects of the songs and did not clearly explained the relationship between the approaches and the teaching and learning process of mathematical content.
