Acesso em: 06 jul. 2023.2358-4750http://www.repositorio.ufop.br/jspui/handle/123456789/17169The present article introduces perspectives for investigating Mathematics Education in Higher Education based on qualitative research that analyzed the potential contributions of Mathematical Modeling assignments about population growth for Differential Equations learning. Participants were students in the Mathematics Degree program at a private university in the interior of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, enrolled in a Differential Equations course taught remotely because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the results, the Modeling assignments contributed to re- signifying concepts and applications of Ordinary Differential Equations and developing a critical perspective among future Mathematics teachers, mainly about issues such as citizenship, social inequality, and the social role of Mathematics itself. We aimed at seeking future perspectives for investigations about Mathematics Education in Higher Education based on the aforementioned contributions.en-USabertoMathematical modelingEducational and social-critical perspectivesArtigo publicado em periodicoO periódico Caminhos da Educação Matemática em Revista permite distribuição, remixagem, adaptação e nova criação a partir da obra, mesmo para fins comerciais, desde que seja atribuído o crédito ao autor (CC BY).
