Abstract
The objective of this article is to present a current panorama of research on mathematical modelling in Brazilian mathematics education by approaching it from three perspectives. The first addresses the historical roots of this field of knowledge in Brazil, highlighting the relationship with the international community, masters and doctoral research, and some important forums dedicated to modelling in Brazil. The second is a synthesis of some existing works also dedicated to the discussion of Brazilian research and publications related to modelling in mathematics education. The third perspective consists of description and analysis of research, in terms of the authors’ proposed objectives, presented in recent national scientific events, seeking to characterize and comprehend current interests that move research in this field. Based on this panorama, I offer some cautionary notes to Brazilian researchers regarding care to be taken when proposing new research in modelling in mathematics education, and I present a proposal for future studies.
