Resumo: This work analyzes records of graphical representation of supply and demand built by Engineering students, in order to identify cognitive challenges underlying the teaching of Economics. It is about an exploratory research that used graphics prepared by 47 students during an exercise carried out in an Economics class. Among the obtained results, it is possible to highlight the lack of familiarity with comparative statics as a method of economic analysis and the conceptual and graphic difficulty inherent to the distinctions between: demand and quantity demanded, supply and quantity offered. The results find an empirical support in related works in the literature about the cognitive challenges underlying the interpretation of graphs. The cognitive challenges observed refer to failures in coding, labeling and information processing, for example.

Esta es una investigación exploratoria que utilizó los gráficos preparados por 47 alumnos durante un ejercicio en una clase de Economía. Entre los resultados podemos destacar la falta de familiaridad con la estática comparativa como método de análisis económico y la dificultad conceptual y gráfica inherente a las distinciones entre demanda y cantidad demandada, oferta y cantidad ofrecida. Los resultados encuentran apoyo empírico en trabajos relacionados con la literatura sobre los desafíos cognitivos que subyacen a la interpretación de los gráficos. Los desafíos cognitivos observados se relacionan con fallas de codificación, errores de calificación y procesamiento de información, por ejemplo.Este trabalho analisa registros de representação gráfica de oferta e demanda construídos por estudantes de Engenharia, no intuito de identificar desafios cognitivos subjacentes ao ensino de Economia.
