Abstract

Educational Design Research is a methodological approach oriented toward the development, implementariam, and evaluation of pedagogical interventions through successive cycles of analysis and refinement. This perspective integrates theory and practice to address concrete problems in diverse educacional contexts. In the field of Mathematics Education, it proves particularly relevant, as it supports the creation and improvimentos of instructional materials, teaching sequences, and digital resources capable of fostering the understanding of complex content. It also enables the progressive adjustment of proposals in real settings, contributing to theoretical foundations supported by evidence produced throughout the process. Despite its potential, this approach requires continuous collaboration between researchers and teachers, as well as significant time and rigorous documentation. In this study, a Systematic Mapping was conducted to identify research that employs this perspective in Mathematics Education, resulting in the selection of ten works that reveal trends, gaps, and relevant contributions to the current landscape.
