Comognição e Materacia: enlaces teóricos para a promoção do discurso matemático escolar

Abstract

This article aims to examine the uses of the term matheracy in the context of theoretical discussions proposed by Ubiratan D'Ambrósio and Ole Skovsmose and seeks to make approximations with Anna Sfard's comognitive perspective on mathematical discourse. The bibliographic research carried out an analysis of the D'Ambrosian neologisms and the Skovsmose binomial and concluded that both authors have very similar views when they talk about matheracy. D'Ambrosio discusses math always anchored in literacy and technoracy, while Skovsmose, although he doesn’t have a specific term to refer to technology, also believes that skills related to math are developed from technological and communicative skills. Finally, the approximations with Sfard's studies showed that comognition can contribute to the development of matheracy, as both give importance to communication in the process of teaching and learning mathematics.
