Ethnomathematics as a Gateway to Heritage 5.0: An Exploration of Shona Tswanda Basket Weaving Knowledge System for Integration into Tertiary Mathematics Curricula
Munamato Turugari
Source abstract
This study explores mathematical concepts embedded in Shona tswanda basket weaving for potential integration into tertiary mathematics, in line with Zimbabwe's Education 5.0 and Heritage 5.0. Despite this policy, mathematics instruction remains Eurocentric. Using a qualitative ethnomathematical design, data were collected from 6 weavers through fieldwork and interviews. A two-round Delphi with 8 experts validated the relevance and cultural authenticity of the identified concepts. Findings show tswanda weaving embodies binary matrices M ∈
