Resum

Neste artigo apresenta-se uma investigação cujo objetivo é caracterizar o processo que segue um grupo de alunos universitários para construir uma série numérica e determinar a sua convergência. Para tal analisa-se a atividade dos referidos alunos quando resolvem a tarefa na aula habitual seguindo o modelo proposto por Pirie e Kieren. Isto permitiu descrever a sua progressão através dos diferentes níveis de compreensão e comprovar a necessidade, em determinadas ocasiões, de realizar uma volta a níveis inferiores mediante o mecanismo “folding back”. Encontraram-se manifestações do folding back de diferente natureza.
