Ethnomodelling as a Methodology for Ethnomathematics

Abstract

The application of ethnomathematical techniques and tools of modelling allows us to examine systems taken from reality and offers insight into forms of mathematics done in a holistic way. The pedagogical approach that respects a diversity of cultural forms of mathematics is best represented through ethnomodelling, which is a process of translation and elaboration of problems and the questions taken from reality. We would like to broaden the discussion of possibilities for the inclusion of ethnomathematics and associated ethnomodelling perspectives that respect the social diversity of distinct cultural groups with guarantees for the development of understanding different ways of doing mathematics through dialogue and respect.
