Previous issue date: 2005-05-05 / This study addresses issues related to the mathematical knowledge and practices of the workers of carcinoculture (shrimp farming), associating such knowledge and practices to the conceptual aspects and the academic mathematical language. Our central aim was to investigate and discuss such knowledge and practices in order to contribute towards having the members of this group reflect upon their own working practices. The investigation took as reference the ethnographic research approach during observations and interviews, as well as the analysis and interpretation of the existing cultural aspects on the use of Mathematics in the shrimp farmers daily activities, thus composing the four chapters of this dissertation. Initially, the local-regional context was set in the area where the workers of the shrimp farm reside, also describing our methodological options. After that, the kind of work that was carried out is explained through a brief history of the shrimp-farming activity, including a short discussion on the environmental impacts that result as a consequence of shrimp-farming. We then discuss some theoretical and practical aspects of the Ethnomathematics while field of study and research. At that moment, we make a reflection upon the different kinds of Mathematics, especially stressing the kind of Mathematics being taught in Schools and that being put to practice by identifiable cultural groups. With that in mind, we show the investigated knowledge and practices e some possible systematizations accomplished during the study. In the end, we point out some conclusive propositions based on the implications of our study towards the development of an educational process within the local communities, considering a possible use of the results and conclusions of this study in the classroom activities / Este estudo aborda quest?es relativas ?s pr?ticas e os saberes matem?ticos dos trabalhadores da carcinicultura (cultura de camar?es marinhos em cativeiro), relacionando tais pr?ticas e saberes com os aspectos conceituais e a linguagem da Matem?tica Acad?mica. Nosso objetivo central foi investigar e discutir essas pr?ticas e saberes visando contribuir para que os membros desse grupo venham a refletir sobre suas pr?ticas laboriais. A investiga??o tomou como refer?ncia a pesquisa etnogr?fica, durante as observa??es e as entrevistas, bem como a an?lise e interpreta??o dos aspectos culturais existentes na utiliza??o da Matem?tica nas atividades di?rias da carcinicultura, compondo os quatro cap?tulos desta Disserta??o. Inicialmente situamos o contexto loco-regional onde residem os trabalhadores da fazenda de cria??o de camar?o, descrevendo, tamb?m, nossas op??es metodol?gicas. Em seguida, situamos o leitor sobre o tipo de trabalho que estamos desenvolvendo, atrav?s de um hist?rico sobre a atividade de cria??o de camar?o, incluindo uma pequena discuss?o acerca do impacto ambiental que pode ser causado pela carcinicultura. Continuando, discutimos aspectos te?rico-pr?ticos acerca da Etnomatem?tica, enquanto um campo de estudos e pesquisa. Nesse momento, fazemos uma reflex?o a respeito das matem?ticas, dando enfoque ? Matem?tica aprendida na Escola e aquela praticada por grupos culturais identific?veis. Nesse sentido, mostramos as pr?ticas e saberes investigados e algumas sistematiza??es poss?veis concretizadas durante o estudo. Finalizando, apontamos algumas proposi??es conclusivas com base nas implica??es do nosso estudo para o desenvolvimento de um processo educativo junto ? comunidade, considerando uma poss?vel utiliza??o dos resultados e conclus?es do estudo nas atividades de sala de aula
