In-Service Mathematics Teachers' Knowledge and Awareness of Ethnomathematics Approaches
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v52 n7 p1063-1078 2021
This convergent mixed method study aimed at gaining insight into teachers' awareness of ethnomathematics approaches and the ethnomathematical practices that could be used in the teaching and learning of geometry. The data were gathered through questionnaires and focus group discussions. The findings showed that the in-service teachers had varying definitions of ethnomathematics approaches and they were aware of the ethnogeometrical practices found in their cultural practices and experiences that could be integrated into the teaching and learning of geometry.
