Resumen

En este estudio descriptivo se analiza la capacidad de generalizar y de representar generalizaciones exhibida por estudiantes de cuarto grado de primaria. El estudio adopta un diseño experimental basado en una entrevista semiestructurada en torno a una tarea basada en la relación funcional lineal y = x + 2. El papel de la mediación de la entrevistadora en las representaciones de las generalizaciones realizadas por los estudiantes se determina en función de las interacciones de los estudiantes con ella. Se definen cuatro formas de representación de la generalización de una relación funcional. Los resultados confirman la importancia de la mediación para ayudar a los estudiantes a mejorar su capacidad de reconocer, representar y generalizar las relaciones funcionales.
