In My Opinion: What Is Ethnomathematics, and How Can It Help Children in Schools?

Abstract: The term ethnomathematics is used to express the relationship between culture and mathematics. The term requires a dynamic interpretation because it describes concepts that are themselves neither rigid nor singular—namely, ethno and mathematics (D'Ambrosio 1987). The term ethno describes “all of the ingredients that make up the cultural identity of a group: language, codes, values, jargon, beliefs, food and dress, habits, and physical traits.” Mathematics expresses a “broad view of mathematics which includes c… Show more

“…Cultural theories are always implied in ethnographic studies because the community often uses the meaning system to manage their behavior, understand themselves, and understand their place (Spradley, 2016). This method is consistent with ethnomathematics studies because ethnomathematics is the mathematics used and developed by a group of cultures (U D 'Ambrosio, 2007). This argument is in line with the aim of this research, namely discovering mathematical ideas developed in determining the residential characters of Sasak people based on sikut awak (human body size).…”

“…Humans develop mathematics by techniques or means in responding to the environment to find explanation, comprehension, experience, and solutions toward problems or phenomena at hand (D'Ambrosio, 2007;Freudenthal, 2002). Along with his followers, Aristoteles perceived that mathematics originates from humans' life issues (Anglin, 1994).…”

“…Di akhir sekali ada era baru pada abad ke-20 dimana Matematik yang ada telah berkembang dan disebut dengan Matematik akademik. Dan dari perkembangan era ini telah membuat formal Matematik dan melupakan bahawa pada asasnya perkara Matematik dibentuk formal berasal dari budaya sedia ada (D'Ambrosio, 2020;Rosa et al, 2016). Masalah yang timbul ialah bahawa tidak ada identifikasi kepada budaya itu sendiri dan inilah yang menjadi awal diperkenalkannya Etnomatematik oleh D'ambrasio pada tahun 1985.…”

“…Dapatan dari kajian literatur bersistematik ini boleh digunakan oleh pembaca sebagai bahan untuk pendalaman dan rujukan mengenai Etnomatematik. Penggunaan Etnomatematik ke dalam proses pembelajaran ataupun dimuat ke dalam sebuah kurikulum yang bersesuaian sehingga budaya persekitaran boleh masuk dan berkembang di dalam sebuah kurikulum (D'Ambrosio, 2020;Rosa, 2020;Rosa & Orey, 2011). Melalui kajian ini pembaca boleh mendapatkan maklumat tentang aspek aspek Matematik yang boleh dipadukan dengan Etnomatematik, sehingga memudahkan pembaca dalam mencari cara yang bersesuaian mengikut kepada maklumat yang telah dibaca.…”

“…Τα Εθνομαθηματικά μπορεί να ορισθούν ως η «τέχνη ή η τεχνική της εξήγησης της πραγματικότητας, εντός ενός κατάλληλου πολιτισμικού πλαισίου»(Rosa et al, 2016;d'Ambrosio, 1999). Γενικά, ο όρος Εθνομαθηματικά περιγράφει έννοιες, οι οποίες δεν είναι ούτε ανελαστικές ούτε μοναδικές, και χρησιμοποιείται για να εκφράσει τη σχέση μεταξύ πολιτισμού και Μαθηματικών(Orey, 2004;d'Ambrosio, 2001).216 Τα (σχολικά) Μαθηματικά, όπως αναφέρθηκε στο 1ο κεφάλαιο είναι, ασφαλώς, πολυσύνθετο πολιτισμικό προϊόν. Η πρακτική, επιστημονική και πολιτισμική αξία των Μαθηματικών είναι αδιαμφισβήτητη τόσο στη σχολική όσο και στην καθημερινή ζωή.…”
