Contribuições dos saberes matemáticos formais e informais na construção civil : algumas aproximações com a etnomatemática

Abstract

This Course Completion Work (TCC) has the general objective of identifying the existing relationship between the mathematical knowledge of a mason and an engineer involved in Civil Construction activities, aiming to understand how mathematics is introduced in their routine activities, also seeking, perceiving similarities and differences in the thoughts of professionals trained in universities (formal concept) and those who are trained in life (empirical knowledge). For this development, the research is classified as applied, regarding its approach, as qualitative, regarding the objectives as exploratory and, finally, regarding the technical investigation procedures as a case study. , articles and theses on Ethnomathematics, with Ubiratan D'Ambrosio (2007) and Gerdes (2010) being some of the authors who provide the basis for our theoretical foundation. From the research it was possible to notice differences and similarities in professionals who use school mathematics, and informal mathematics, the contributions they offer to their crafts. It was also possible to verify that although unknown to them, Ethnomathematics is extremely important for learning and exercising their professions, since mathematics is fundamental in the development of their daily activities.
