Abstract | Inuit children and children from an urban environment, inhabiting as they do differing spatial environments, contrasted with one another in terms of perception, representation, and the manifestation of geometric, topographic, and projective properties. The general hypothesis of this research is that the process of mathematical acculturation is influenced overall by students' metacognitive activity in relation to the interest and motivation they feel in the learning situations in which they find themselves. With the participation of 26 students in Puvirnituq (also known by the name of Povungnituk) in Quebec, Canada, data was collected through tests, questionnaires, tape recordings, and interviews. The first phase involved 12 students in French-speaking classes; the second phase involved 14 students in mathematics classes. It was concluded that notwithstanding the relatively universal character of mathematical concepts and the symbolism through which human beings are able to make use of them effectively, every community develops its own mathematical instruments. Contains 79 references along with 13 appendices. (ASK) |
