An Ethnomathematical Perspective of STEM Education in a Glocalized World

Abstract An Ethnomathematics-based curriculum helps students demonstrate consistent mathematical processes as they reason, solve problems, communicate ideas, and choose appropriate representations through the development of daily practices. As well, it recognizes connections with Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Our pedagogical work, in relation to STEM Education, is based on Trivium Curriculum for mathematics ethnomodelling, which provides communicative, analytical, material, technological tools emic, etic, dialogic approaches that are necessary elaboration school curricula. Education facilitates action connects ethnomathematics; modelling, problem-solving, critical judgment, making sense non-mathematical environments, involves distinct ways thinking, reasoning, developing knowledge sociocultural contexts. The ethnomathematical perspective proposed here a transformative pedagogy exposes its power transform into reflective citizens order enable them society glocalized world.
