Aims
The aim of TSG 36 at ICME-12 is to gather mathematics educators interested in the issues connected with the role of ethnomathematics in mathematics education.
This group will be an opportunity to present research or theoretical elaborations on these questions:
1. What is the mathematical thinking developed by people outside schools?
2. How can mathematics education use information regarding mathematical thinking developed outside school to improve our understanding of mathematics and mathematics teaching and learning in school?
3. How can a wider, cultural view of mathematics expand the possibilities for peace, prosperity, and elimination of discrimination?
4. What has been done in terms of research on the role of ethnomathematics in mathematics education and what are the current lines for new and relevant research?
5. Ethnomathematics can be defined both broadly and narrowly. How do these definitions influence/impact the ways in which ethnomathematics is incorporated into formal educational settings?
6. What impact is an appreciation of culture and its mathematics having on mathematics education?
Guidelines for submission
The organizing team welcomes significant contributions related to the topics outlined here and to other related issues. Participants are requested to submit a paper not later than November 30, 2011 both via e-mails to both co-chairs and through the on-line submission system at the Congress website. The length of contributions should be between 1500 and 2000 words in length. There will be a chance for lengthier papers (up to 4000 words) when a researcher or group of researchers address question number 4 on a regional level. The proposals must be written in English and be attached in .pdf file. For a full paper, an ICME-12 - template will be available later.
