The Anthropological Dimension on Ethnomodelling Research Based on Ethnomathematics and Modelling - Archaeology & Anthropology

The  application  of  ethnomathematics and  the  tools  of  mathematical  modelling  allow  us  to  see  a  different  reality  and  give  us  insight  into  mathematics  accomplished  holistically. Using  this  perspective,  a  pedagogical  action  that connects  cultural aspects of  mathematics with its academic aspects is referred to as ethnomodelling. This is a process of translation and elaboration of problems and  questions  taken  from  systems  that  are  part  of  any given cultural group. Thus, we would like to broaden the discussion for possibilities for the inclusion of ethnomathematics and  mathematical modelling  perspectives  by using ethnomodelling which, if done correctly, acts  against colonialism and respects the social and cultural diversity with guarantees for the  development  of understanding  of  our  differences  through  dialogue  and  respect.  Ethnomodelling  empowers  these  members  of  diverse  groups  against domination and oppression.
