“…In the field of "school culture", Seckel et al (2020), in their study of attitudes towards mathematics, indicate that teacher attitudes influence student attitudes (Seckel et al,P. 25); regarding the playful attitude, reflected in item 13 of the applied questionnaire: "I find it fun to study mathematics", show the following results: Totally agree: 15%, Agree: 24%, Neither agree nor disagree: 30% , Disagree: 24%, Totally Disagree: 7% (Seckel et al,P.31).…”

Background: Despite its social importance, the learning associated with STEAM thinking (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) we consider is not fully developed in classrooms. Objectives: This research proposes to promote STEAM skills through game-based learning.. Design: These were used to design an integrated educational proposal, called the Micro Play Project (MPL), following the principles of game-based learning and an intercultural approach focused on Ethnomathematics. Setting and Participants: This MPL was implemented in a Spanish school with small groups of students from Preschool and Primary Education, dedicating three sessions to each of the four games, which were recorded on video. Data collection and analysis: Studying the Jamaican culture, we discovered that the game is a relevant cultural sign in Jamaica, we compiled and analyzed its traditional games, generating a catalog, from which we selected four games, for their potential to develop STEAM learning at school .Qualitative-interpretive research was carried out through a case study and content analysis, using a proprietary tool. Results: they are diverse skills, artistic, scientific and mathematical manifested when playing, such as: musical sense, detection of similarities, ability to turn, identification of shapes, estimation of distances, formulation of hypotheses and establishment of relationships by criteria, which have confirmed the didactic potential of these games, in an environment of ethnomathematical intercultural education. Conclusions: The validity of the MPL as a didactic method to develop STEAM learning is deduced from the results. We hope to strengthen and spread this method by making new elaborations and applications of MPL.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é medir a atitude em relação à matemática dos futuros professores da Educação Infantil de uma universidade da zona central do Chile. Para atender a esse objetivo, foi realizada uma investigação de nível quantitativo e descritivo, aplicando a escala de atitudes em relação à matemática. A amostra foi composta por 38 futuros professores de Educação Infantil de uma instituição de Ensino Superior na região central do Chile. Dentre os resultados, destaca-se a pontuação elevada para as afirmações: "Considero a matemática uma disciplina muito necessária nos meus estudos (x: 4,70; s: 0,52) e "A matemática pode ser útil para quem decide seguir uma carreira em “ciências”, mas não para o resto dos alunos” (x: 4,66; s: 0,63). Além disso, as afirmações com o valor médio mais baixo são: "Me diverte falar com os outros sobre matemática" (x: 2,76; s: 1,28) e "Gostaria de ter uma ocupação em que tivesse de usar matemática" (x: 3,13; s: 1,34). Conclui-se, apesar de a maioria dos depoimentos obter uma avaliação positiva, há a necessidade de gerar instâncias de formação nas quais os futuros professores aprimorem sua atitude em relação à matemática.
