| Sumario: | [EN] The use of mathematical/numerical models poses a crucial challenge in the learning process: determining which simplifications to adopt depending on the specific case. This decision can compromise the reliability of the model or make it impractical due to excessive computational power requirements. In this work, an innovative methodological proposal is presented that applies Photovoice, a technique commonly used in action research, to numerical modeling subjects. The main goal of the proposal is to encourage individual and group reflection, both in groups of 2-4 students and in the entire class, including the professor. This is achieved by providing an appropriate context through the creation of photo-narratives as a guide for problem analysis. The results suggest an improvement through more active participation, as well as the development of skills such as effective communication and critical thinking. |
