Resumo: In order to assist Indigenous peoples to revive their language and culture, teachers need strategies to enhance both cultural and mathematical knowledge for students. This paper presents findings from a project in which pre-service teachers investigated ethnomathematical practices using the context of ancestral ocean voyages by canoes. This context was chosen because a primary identification marker for Māori are their ancestral canoes. The results indicated that these pre-service teachers did not generally associate these ancestral voyages with mathematical practices, indicating that more work is needed to increase their understandings of ethnomathematics. Their understandings about the knowledge and practices connected to traditional methods of navigation were disrupted by myths perpetuated by European colonists. Despite this, a renaissance in canoe building and interest in traditional navigation practices provided the pre-service teachers with valuable information.

Este artículo presenta los hallazgos de un proyecto en el cual los maestros de pre-servicio investigaron las prácticas etnomatemáticas utilizando el contexto de viajes oceánicos ancestrales en canoas. Este contexto fue elegido porque un marcador de identificación principal para los Māori son sus canoas ancestrales. Los resultados indicaron que estos maestros de pre-servicio generalmente no asociaron estos viajes ancestrales con las prácticas matemáticas, lo que indica que se necesita más trabajo para aumentar su comprensión de las etnomatemáticas. Su comprensión sobre el conocimiento y las prácticas relacionadas con los métodos tradicionales de navegación fueron interrumpidos por los mitos perpetuados por los colonos europeos. A pesar de esto, un renacimiento en la construcción de canoas y el interés en las prácticas tradicionales de navegación proporcionaron a los maestros de pre-servicio informaciones valiosas.  Buscando auxiliar os povos indígenas a reavivar a sua língua e cultura, os professores precisam utilizar estratégias para aprimorar os conhecimentos culturais e matemáticos dos alunos. Esse trabalho apresenta os resultados de um projeto em que os professores em formação docente investigaram as práticas etnomatemáticas utilizando o contexto de viagens oceânicas ancestrais por canoas. Essa conjuntura foi escolhida porque uma das principais marcas identitárias dos Māori são as suas canoas ancestrais. Os resultados indicaram que, geralmente, esses professores não associaram essas jornadas ancestrais com as práticas matemáticas, sinalizando ser necessário um maior treinamento para aumentar o seu entendimento da etnomatemática. A compreensão sobre os conhecimentos e as práticas ligadas aos métodos tradicionais de navegação foram prejudicados por mitos perpetuados pelos colonizadores europeus. Contudo, um ressurgimento da construção de canoas e do interesse pelas práticas tradicionais de navegação propiciou valiosas informações para os professores em formação docente.Editora da UFOP2020-03-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufop.br/revemop/article/view/246810.33532/revemop.e202008Revemop; v. 2 (2020): Rolling Pass; e2020082596-0245reponame:Revemopinstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPenghttps://periodicos.ufop.br/revemop/article/view/2468/3159https://periodicos.ufop.br/revemop/article/view/2468/3737https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTrinick, TonyTamsin Meaney, Tamsin2021-05-15T09:53:10Zoai:pp.www.periodicos.ufop.br:article/2468Revistahttps://periodicos.ufop.br/revemop/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufop.br/revemop/oairevemop@ufop.edu.br||2596-02452596-0245opendoar:2021-05-15T09:53:10Revemop - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false
