CORDERO OSORIO, Francisco  e  SILVA-CROCCI, Héctor. Matemática educativa, identity and Latin America: work and use of disciplinary knowledge. Relime [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.3, pp.295-318. ISSN 2007-6819.

The elements such as identity and adhesion are highlighted from a disciplinary work point of view, as well as the use of theoretical knowledge in the Matemática Educativa field from Latin America. In this context, we refer to a school of thought of a specific community, a Latin American program inserted into the disciplinary world with an identity in which it constructs its own theoretical knowledge under discussion with theories constructed by traditional scientific cultures. That identity was identified as a category which permits this academic community to tackle the phenomenon of adhesion. This fact may be taken into account in order to be incorporated into the training of human resources in Matemática Educativa in Latin America.
