Jogos de linguagem e educação matemática: um estudo sobre o curso de tecnologia em gestão de cooperativas, São Leopoldo - RS

Abstract

This Master Degree workpresents a study that aimed to analyze the family resemblances between the mathematical language games practiced in the Course Technology Management of Cooperatives and those practiced in the management of a Cooperative Landless (MST) in Rio Grande do Sul. The research material consisted of interviews, recorded and transcribed, with students, teachers and the School of Technology Management Cooperative, notes of classroom observations of administration and financial economics; notes taking in visits to a cooperative. The research is theoretical support to Ethnomatematics, in their intersections with the theories of Michel Foucault and the ideas of Ludwig Wittgensteins mature work presented in Philosophical Investigations. The analytical exercise performed on the research material produced allowed us to infer that: a) the mathematical language games practiced in management of a cooperative exhibit family resemblance to those committed in the course TGC. This similarity was established by checking the formalism and accuracy; b) the mathematical language games practiced in the production sector of peasant cooperatives are characterized by processes of approximation; c) Therefore, there is a tension between the language games in mathematical charged TGC Course and Management of the cooperative study and those charged in the peasant productive sector cooperatives.
