Studying the introduction of Algebra in the First High School: Teaching designs, materials and teaching practices of teachers
Summary:
The introduction of secondary school students into algebra is a key issue of study in the mathematics teaching community. Through the collaboration of two secondary school teachers who jointly designed and implemented activities in the framework of their participation in the European program PreMaTT, the present study studies their teaching design and practice as they collaborate on the development of teaching materials using specially designed digital tools. Using the theoretical framework based on the documentational work of the two teachers, the research focuses on the interactions between teachers and resources that influence them in planning activities. Analysis of the genesis of documentational work highlighted aspects of the evolution of the two teachers at the level of knowledge and didactic design. The shifts in the teaching approaches and practices of the two teachers were facts that developed their professional learning. Moreover, a critical point for both teachers has been shown to be the other-observation as a part of their cooperation. Finally, there were identified the factors that influence the genesis of documentational work regarding the introduction of algebra in secondary education during their involvement in teaching, classroom and evaluation cycles.
