Resumo: |
From my personal experience as a student and as well as a Mathematics teacher in the general secondary level for many years shows that Mathematics is considered one of the school subjects which is the most difficult to learn. This situation leads to its rejection by many students. One of the causes leading to that rejection is related to the inadequate approach in the teaching process, as it lacks contextualization within social cultural framework. The present research tends to suggest possible ways to explore and use the emákhuwa cultural artifacts for pedagogical purposes in the teaching of Mathematics as a way of contextualization of the learning process in local context. This view is supported by the fact what the author is a emákhuwa descendant who has noticed that some of emákhuwas artifacts incorporate some mathematical elements which could be explored within the school learning context. This research is supported by studies in the field of ethnomathematics and mathematics education. Several researches in this field include published works of Paulo Gerdes and Ubiratan D´Ambrósio. These authors as well as many others, point out that learning from resources, which are linked with peoples cultural background will enable them to appreciate. The learning of mathematics more sense of reality and to build more confidence and secure in the learning process. This research shows the possible ways of incorporating local artifacts in the teaching of Mathematics discussed by students who are talking up the Bachelors Course in teaching Mathematics of UP Nampula |
