Abstract:
This article examines the current core curriculum for Bolivian children’s education, known as the Initial Education Study Program in a Schooled Community Family, in terms of its overall structure and, more specifically, how mathematics is taught. The discussions are conducted based on authors who have researched colonial and mathematical themes in children's education. The legislation describes the curriculum as a decolonizing and liberating tool for articulating local culture while allowing society to influence decision-making concerning educational policies. The curriculum of mathematical education emphasizes intraculturality and interculturality through guiding themes, allowing for the rebuilding of family and community knowledge, facilitating cultural dialogue, ensuring the visibility and exchange of other epistemic logics, and contributing to the construction of decolonized thought.
