Didactic Resources and Contexts Used by Future Mathematics Teachers

Abstract

This document reports on the teaching resources and contexts used by mathematics teachers during the internship period stipulated in their initial training. An operational resource and context definition is proposed, with which we identified the resources and contexts used by four future teachers during their teaching practice. The research is qualitative, and a phenomenological-hermeneutical approach is used to identify and interpret students’ teaching activity as they identify, adapt, and use resources. During the investigation, the different resources that support teaching were recorded in the field diary and activities that future teachers present to students are compiled, it is evident that future teachers use different resources and application contexts in teaching the concepts and mathematical procedures.
