RESUMO
The purpose of this study was to investigate the higher education of native Brazilian teachers in mathematics in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in particular three aspects of training: why these students choose to take degree in mathematics, what are the major difficulties in the 1st grade of the course and why do they end up leaving it. I used a qualitative approach, with questionnaires to indigenous students from different institutions of higher education in the state, formed a study group with students from the 1st grade of the Degree in Mathematics from Universidade Estadual do Mato Grosso do Sul - UEMS / Dourados and held interviews with some dropouts from this course. This institution offers in their SATs the possibility to gain access to the Indian people by a system of reserved places - quota - but has failed to ensure the completion of these quotistas in the course of mathematics. I found, in the questionnaires, the Indian students choose a degree in mathematics because it is a course that offers the possibility of working in the village schools and because of the concern of, after graduating, teaching a more contextualized mathematics, among other things. In the study group it was possible to verify that students have great difficulty with the specific content, which was also an apparent fact in the interviews with the dropouts. Some of them reported that they left the course because of this difficulty, attached with the fact that the math course wasnt what they would like to take as a first option, but they chose it for being the most convenient in many aspects. For this research I sought theoretical support in the Ethnomathematics Program which, in the context of teachers training, offers a chance to interact with respect one to another - ethnically different - and as intellectual support for For actions that enable intercultural dialogue
