La problemática asociada al aprendizaje y la enseñanza de las matemáticas va cambiando según evoluciona la sociedad en la que se da este proceso. Sin lugar a dudas la globalización y los problemas con ella asociadas ocupan un lugar preponderante en las dinámicas de nuestra sociedad. Nuestra sociedad ha dejado de ser un grupo homogéneo de personas con referencias culturales uniformes y se ha convertido en pocas décadas en una sociedad multicultural. La enseñanza de las matemáticas no puede dejar de constatar esta situación y parece que deberá pasar de una concepción cultural única a una visión más poliédrica de la relación, siempre interesante, entre la enseñanza de las matemáticas y el medio social en el que se da.

El aprendizaje de la matemática es una necesidad sentida y percibida por las poblaciones indígenas, como se advierte en los testimonios que recogen los autores de esta obra. Esto se debe a que la ciencia y la tecnología son el núcleo y el motor de la actual sociedad del conocimiento. Aprender matemática es, ante todo, adquirir poder para defenderse de la exclusión y autoafirmarse. ¿Cómo podemos adoptar decisiones inteligentes en nuestra vida diaria o influir en la política nacional e internacional sin una adecuada educación científico-tecnológica? De lo que se trata, en definitiva, es de responder a las preguntas: ¿es posible que los amerindios se apropien de la matemática e incluso contribuyan a su desarrollo sin renunciar a sus culturas específicas? y ¿es posible ser a la vez matemático y amerindio auténticos sin tener que adoptar, necesariamente, la cultura denominada del “progreso universal”?. Éste es el tema desarrollado en el presente libro, fruto de una iniciativa surgida hace varios años con el fin de efectuar un balance de la situación educativa de los pueblos indígenas, elaborar nuevos enfoques conceptuales y diseñar respuestas pedagógicas adecuadas a sus necesidades y expectativas. Para lograrlo se ha implicado a los propios sujetos de los programas educativos desarrollados en las áreas indígenas y zonas populares de América Latina, contando con la participación de investigadores y especialistas en la materia. En la obra, coordinada por Alfonso E. LIZARZABURU y Gustavo ZAPATA SOTO, han colaborado los siguientes autores: Ubiratan D’AMBROSIO, André CAUTY, Kleber GESTEIRA E MATOS, Gustavo GOTTRET, Terezinha NUNES, Adán PARI RODRÍGUEZ, Ruperto R. ROMERO, Joachim SCHROEDER, Isabel SOTO CORNEJO y Martha VILLAVICENCIO UBILLÚS.

Este libro abre nuevos caminos en el campo de la educacion cientifica, pues considera que la matematica es un producto natural. Se trata de una idea a la vez sencilla y profunda. Para empezar, es sencilla porque el sentido comun nos dice que todo conocimiento tiene que ser un producto cultural. Durante los ultimos anos, las investigaciones antropologicas e interculturales han generado una multitud de datos que no solo corroboran esta perspectiva, sino que tambien nos permiten comprender realmente su significado y su importancia. Asi, esta obra demuestra y confirma el significado de la matematica como producto cultural. Se inspira en una amplia variedad de fuentes y referencias e integra toda esta bibliografia en un nuevo esquema conceptual. Tambien, como deciamos, se trata de una idea profunda a causa de su desarrollo potencial en el terreno de la educacion matematica. Bishop no se contenta con un mero examen de la esfera cultural, sino que tambien explora los aspectos significativos de ese desarrollo. Presenta una estructura curricular que genera nuevos procedimientos e ideas, ademas de respaldar otros ya existentes. Pero la enculturacion no solo aborda el contenido curricular. Tambien trata de procesos. Y en este libro se explora a fondo el proceso de la enculturacion matematica. Alan Bishop es profesor del Departamento de Educacion de la Universidad de Cambridge.

The main idea of the book is to contribute to a broader understanding of learning, identity and diversity by presenting actual research findings that were retrieved from classroom settings and related social practices. Learning is to a large extent an ongoing social process as both students and their teachers learn by being part of shared social practices through social interactions that facilitate learning gains. Sociocultural research shows that the organization of schooling promotes or restricts learning, and is a crucial factor to understand how children from a diversity of backgrounds profit from instruction. This is a first urgent issue to be considered by teachers and teacher education in our socio and culturally diverse society. A second issue is the on-going debate about learning as a process that involves the construction of identities in schools and classrooms, and in the transitions between school and home practices. Last but not least, since school practices can be addressed from the perspective of diversity and special educational needs an on-going discussion about optimizing pedagogical approaches is of main importance to allow maximum educational effectiveness. Our potential audience for this book are researchers, post-graduate students in education and psychology, teachers, teacher education, other academics and policy makers.

This volume presents multiple perspectives on the uses of the history of mathematics for teaching and learning, including the value of historical topics in challenging mathematics tasks, for provoking teachers’ reflection on the nature of mathematics, curriculum development questions that mirror earlier pedagogical choices in the history of mathematics education, and the history of technological innovations in the teaching and learning of mathematics. An ethnomathematical perspective on the history of mathematics challenges readers to appreciate the role of mathematics in perpetuating consequences of colonialism. Histories of the textbook and its uses offer interesting insights into how technology has changed the fundamental role of curriculum materials and classroom pedagogies. History is explored as a source for the training of teachers, for good puzzles and problems, and for a broad understanding of mathematics education policy. Third in a series of sourcebooks from the International Commission for the Study and Improvement of Mathematics Teaching, this collection of cutting-edge research, stories from the field, and policy implications is a contemporary and global perspective on current possibilities for the history of mathematics for mathematics education. This latest volume integrates discussions regarding history of mathematics, history of mathematics education and history of technology for education that have taken place at the Commission's recent annual conferences.
