민족지학적 수학과 다문화적 수학교육: 수학교실에서의 다양성에 대한 교육적 담론 = Ethnomathematics and Multicultural Mathematics Education: Educational Discourses of Diversity and Its Implications

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper presents an overview of theories about ethnomathematics to seek for implications for multicultural mathematics education. Initiated by anthropological inquiries into mathematics outside of Europe, research of ethnomathematics has revealed the facets of mathematics as a historicocultural construct of a community. Specifically, it has been shown that mathematics is culturally relative knowledge system situated within a certain communal epistemological norms. This implies that indigenous mathematics, which had traditionally been regarded as primitive and marginal knowledge, is a historicocultural construct whose legitimacy is conferred by the system of the communal epistemological norms. The recognition of the cultural facets in mathematics has faciliated the reconsideration of what is legitimate mathematics, what is mathematical competence, and what teaching and learning mathematics is all about. This paper inquires multicultral discourses of mathematics education that research of ethnomathematics provides and identifies its implications concerning multicultural mathematics education.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 논문에서는 민족지학적 수학 연구의 개관에 기초하여 수학교육의 다문화적 접근을 위한 시사점을 논의하였다. 유럽의 학문적 수학과 다른 수학체계에 대한 인류학적 탐구에서 출발한 민족지학적 수학 연구는 수학 체계를 문화적 맥락 속에서 탐구함으로써 수학의 문화성에 대한 인식을 가능하게 하였다. 특히, 수학의 문화성에 대한 조명은 전통적으로 유럽의 학문적 수학에 국한되었던 합법적 수학의 경계를 확장하고, 나아가 앎의 방식에서의 차이를 이해할 수 있는 관점을 제공하여 수학교육에서 다문화적 담론의 등장을 촉진하였다. 이에 본 논문에서는 민족지학적 수학 연구가 제공하는 다문화적 담론과 학교수학에서의 다문화적 접근 방안 및 다문화적인 학교수학의 실천을 위해 요구되는 교육적 과제에 대하여 논의하였다.
