Abstract

This article presents and analyzes one practice of scientific initiation developed from the use of  modeling and digital technologies on basic research projects as a way to stimulate the art of research. The empirical study was conducted in a public agricultural institution in southern Brazil, in which high school students develop research papers at school, during one year. Data were collected through observation of the students activities, field repports, articles and the socialization material. They were analyzed using content analysis of Bardin (1979). Results points that the use of digital technologies enhances the work of mathematical modeling and, both articulated with discussions related to the reality of those involved, promote students: motivation in learning and research; autonomy; reflexion and knowledge to the expression of their own actions and even math itself.
