Communicative competence mathematics in the training of engineers in Agro-food technology

Abstract

In the Education 2030 Agenda and the proposal of the European Union to standardize Higher Education in knowledge, skills and attitudes, in the Tuning Project (2016), they declare within their objectives to achieved, the development of skills, which allow harmonious interaction, the ability to work in a team, to assume leadership and act in new situations. Higher Mathematics and the development of communicative skills is one of the aspirations for the University Rainha Njinga a Mbande in Malanje, Angola. Given the above, the objective of this article is to offer theoretical considerations about communicative skills from the teaching of Higher Mathematics for a greater development of mathematical logical thinking of students of the Engineering in Agro-food Technology course. Different methods were used, historical and logical, analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, analysis of documentary information, research, interview, participant observation; as well as mathematical and statistical methods. As the main result, it is determined that in the teaching of this discipline, the integrated development and coherent articulation of communicative skills and communicative situations are decontextualized. Which do not favor the self-management of learning according to the needs and projections of said course for interaction with academic and professional purposes and the leading participation of students is not stimulated.
