Alfabetização matemática: uma concepção múltipla e plural

Abstract

This thesis presents elaborate reflections and arguments from the investigative path of literacies that are beyond the school walls. The qualitative research, developed with ethnographic emphasis, aims to analyze the elements present in the learning of children from early years, beyond the walls of the classroom, to an understanding of literacy (mathematics) as multiple and plural. The research collaborators are children of two classes, a basic cycle I 2˚ year with 18 children and another of the Basic Cycle I 2˚ and 3˚ years with 13 students from schools located in riverine areas of Belém-PA. Analyses are interpretative. Pictorial or oral manifestations later systematized in episodes were assessed in the light of the outstanding theoretical framework. The collected material were made selections about what was referring to literacy (the school or outside), the learning context for culture and relations with mathematics (experienced in school or not). The agenda is theoretical foundation in Edgar Morin (open rationality), Mia Couto, D'Ambrosio, Conceição Almeida (learning the culture and Teresa Vergani. The results are based on evidence that allow me to defend the thesis that mathematics literacy it is multiple and plural and is in dialogue and complementarity between school knowledge and knowledge developed in informal learning environments where children engage in experiences and experiences that allow learning by doing, observing, interacting, listening.
