Teacher Training and Mathematical Proof. Exploratory Study and Implications

Abstract

In this paper, we address the design and analysis of a teacher training activity about proof focussed on the analysis of the knowledge (through TPACK) of prospective mathematics secondary school teachers. In particular, we observe that the students have a good knowledge of the content (CK), as well as a good knowledge of the technology (TK). Some difficulties are found when the pedagogical component is introduced and when the interrelations among all of them are considered. These results allow us to point out some action lines in order to organise the systematic work on proof with prospective mathematics teachers in their master's degree.
