Saberes matemáticos produzidos na construção de casas.

Abstract

This thesis problematizes mathematics productions of knowledges in artesian practices in a group of construction workers in house buildings in the city of Sinimbu, RS. Under the Mathematics Education‟s lenses, I performed the analysis of talking with the work of the subjects of the research, four construction workers chosen according to their profile similarities. The theorical foundation is based on two concepts, Ethnomathematics according to D‟Ambrosio and Artesian Practices according to Larrosa and Sennett. The data production happened by the Discursive Textual Analyze (ATD, acronym in Portuguese) of Moraes and Galiazzi, starting by the camp diary, houses photographies and talking recordings. From this process, three emerging final categories were generated, which contemplate the purpose of the research, synthesized in: imaginations, hand techniques and social approximation. As a consequence, I can reason in my thesis: the social approximation allow to increase the work possibilities, which are necessary characteristics to imagination. In this way, the imagination and the hands reach different ways to make social approximation possible. This ways don‟t finish my enterprises, but allow the opening of new trajectories, in research and performance.
