| Sumario: | The use of analogies in the classroom or in textsis a very common teaching practice, usually carried out spontaneously and unsystematic.The researcheson analogies in teaching contexts has revealed the potential of this didactic mediation resource for learning, but has also pointed out the risks arising from misuse.In the perspective of analyzing analogies and their use in teaching, Ferry ePaula (2017) introduce a notations system, backed by Gentner's Structure-mapping theory (1983), to sketch the correspondences between two domains analogically compared in the context of Science Education.This notations system was used to developea software capable of assisting the construction of the structural mapping of analogies and of assisting the process of structural and systematic analysis of this type of comparison, which was conceived from common procedures in software development: requirements gathering; construction of the database; coding and testing of the implemented functionalities.Thus, thispaperpresents the development of a grounded digital tool, called MAPES, which has been able to optimize the structural mapping process by presenting useful elements for the analysis of analogies and contributing to the field of studies.Inconclusion, the MAPES can be used as an important technological resource to assist in the study of analogies applied to teaching and research contexts, either in the planning or analysis of this mediational resource. |
