MONTEIRO, Sabrina; GIONGO, Ieda Maria y SILVA, Jacqueline Silva da. Ethnomathematics and Early Childhood Education: What's Out There in the Universe?. Ciência educ. [online]. 2020, vol.26, e20024. Epub 02-Jul-2020. ISSN 1980-850X. https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320200024.
The present study is part of a Master's degree research that aims at analyzing the effects of learning among children aged four and five years in a School of Early Childhood Education in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The situation was adapted from a proposal by Longhini, The universe represented in a box, which is considered as an introduction to the Teaching of Astronomy. By means of ethnographic approximations, the research followed a qualitative approach. The collected data were subjected to Discursive Textual Analysis. The resulting information has indicated that through the reflections on the findings, comparisons established between the children and their constructions, children have a range of initial ideas about the universe, but they think differently from one another.
