SILVA, Adailton Alves da and LOBATO, Elani dos Anjos. The funeral as a socio-educational space for the Rikbaktsa people. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2021, vol.28, e015. Epub June 29, 2023. ISSN 1983-1730. https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v28a2021-15.
This article is an excerpt from the research for the writing of the Master's Dissertation and focuses on the Rikbaktsa people, with the objective of identifying and understanding the socio-educational processes (generation, systematization and diffusion) of the group from the funeral events celebrated in the space of the village. The methodological approach was anchored in the Ethnomathematics perspective, under the perspectives of D’Ambrosio (2005, 2016 and 2017) and Vergani (2007). The investigation was of an ethnographic character, with a qualitative approach, using observation. As a result, we obtained an understanding of the traditional knowledge disseminated by the elderly to the youngest, which can contribute to highlight the knowledge and practices of the youngest.
