Abstract

FERNANDEZ-GAGO, Joaquín; CARRILLO YANEZ, José  and  CONDE FERNANDEZ, Silvia María. A case-study for analyzing how the teachers help in mathematical problem solving. Educ. mat. [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.3, pp.247-276.  Epub Feb 07, 2022. ISSN 2448-8089.  https://doi.org/10.24844/em3003.10.

Some investigations point out that, besides beliefs on mathematics and on mathematics teaching and learning, other dimensions’ influence teachers’ performance. Amongst these dimensions, we place the ideas of help, difficulty and communication, which is used with the students. One class by Silvia (a secondary teacher) is analyzed in detail in order to know how she performs against these dimensions. For this analysis we use the full transcription of the class. This study allows us to outline some styles in teaching of Spanish teachers depending on the studied dimensions. We also established hypothesis of possible inconsistencies in the performance of Silvia.

Keywords : help; communication; problem solving; case study.
