Matemática básica: análise de produções acadêmico-científicas que evidenciam metodologias de ensino fundamentadas na etnomatemática

Abstract

Ethnomathematics is a teaching trend that essentially seeks to raise the level of learning of a person from what he/she already knows within his/her own sociocultural context. The general objective of this research is, by means of a bibliographical survey, to identify the academicscientific productions that present teaching methodologies based on Ethnomathematics. This is a qualitative research, characterized as a systematic literature review. We selected and analyzed 10 (ten) academic-scientific productions (articles and monographs) published in the last 05 years, written in Portuguese. On the various methodologies of mathematics teaching presented in each production, it is worth mentioning that the foundations of ethnomathematics as a pedagogical trend of teaching are present, activities developed through active methodologies in mathematics teaching, thus providing meaningful learning. It is thus concluded that the improvement of an individual's learning of mathematics, to a large extent, arises from the need to correlate his own experience of the real world with the abstraction of pure mathematical knowledge, since the individual thus understands the applicability and importance of mathematics in his own life.
