Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show the power of modelling activities to analyze multidisciplinary phenomena and to bridge the gap between different educational levels in the scope of mathematics. In particular, it parts of an open and generating question relating with an epidemic. The multidisciplinary scope of this question, and the correspondent answers, will contribute to several new questions of a social, economic and health concern. The linked set of successive question-answers will constitute a representation of a device sustained by the paradigm of questioning the world, called the study and research path. This methodological tool emerged from the anthropological theory of the didactic. The design of this specific teaching device uses ICT exhaustively as a facilitator (GeoGebra/wxMaxima) and an interactive learning environment (Moodle), because some ICT methods make students to feel more comfortable and allow a different dynamic to the classroom.
