A etnomatemática por meio de fotografias e vídeos na visão dos alunos de uma escola pública do Rio Grande do Sul.

Abstract

Understanding the student through their behavior consists of perceiving the different perspectives and practices they develop in the construction of their knowledge. Regarding mathematics, the Brazilian Basic Education Development Index presents worrying data over the years, mainly, this gap between the student's reality, mathematics taught from repetitive exercises and mathematics experienced in everyday life. Thus, the objective of this study is to understand how students perceive Ethnomathematics present in their daily lives, through professi ons recorded in photographs and videos, by the students themselves. They are elementary school students – final years – of a public school located in the center of Pelotas-RS. The classes chosen were students of the researcher teacher before the pandemic a nd who had already started the data collection process. Upon returning from face -to-face classes, the researcher continued with the same classes, took advantage of the material collected and continued the research work. The present investigation was of a qualitative nature, with a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews and image records that began to be examined within the perspective of descriptive analysis. As a research finding, it was discovered that the realization of a video with the images photographed by the students, brought several benefits: recording of everyday mathematics and understanding that it is present in several daily actions, visual material for consultation with students, the video it can also be a didactic tool for other classes, and as a stimulus for the production of new videos that bring the knowledge learned in the educational context.
