SUMMARY:phd
DESCRIPTION:On September 3\, 2024\, the College of Education and External Studies at Makerere University hosted a significant research dissemination event\, presenting pioneering findings on integrating Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) such as ethnomathematics in teaching and learning school mathematics. The research\, funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York through the Makerere University Directorate of Research and Graduate Training\, highlighted innovative approaches to making mathematics education more relevant and accessible to students in Uganda. \n\n\n\nEthnomathematics is an interdisciplinary field that explores the relationship between mathematics and culture. It investigates how different cultural groups understand\, articulate\, and apply mathematical concepts in ways that are often unique to their traditions and everyday practices. Educators and researchers can bridge the gap between formal\, academic mathematics and the diverse mathematical practices found in various cultural contexts by exploring ethnomathematics. This approach can serve as a powerful medium for teaching and learning mathematics\, offering several benefits such as cultural relevance in education. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEthnomathematics helps make mathematics more culturally relevant to students by connecting abstract mathematical concepts to their real-world experiences and cultural backgrounds. This relevance can increase student engagement\, making mathematics feel more accessible and meaningful. For example\, students from agricultural communities may better understand mathematical concepts when they are presented using traditional farming practices\, such as crop rotation patterns or land measurement techniques.
