High School Prospective Teachers' Problem-Solving Reasoning That Involves the Coordinated Use of Digital Technologies
Santos-Trigo, Manuel; Reyes-Martínez, Isaid
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v50 n2 p182-201 2019
The aim of this study was to characterize and discuss ways of reasoning that prospective high school mathematics teachers develop and exhibit in a problem-solving scenario that involves the coordinated use of digital technologies. A conceptual framework that includes Virtual Learning Spaces (VLS) and Resources, Activities, Support and Evaluation (RASE) essentials is used to introduce and support a problem-solving approach to structure learners' problem-solving activities that encouraged them to share ideas, discuss and extend mathematical discussions beyond formal settings. Main results indicated that prospective high school teachers relied on a set of tool affordances (dragging objects, looking and exploring object's loci, using sliders, quantifying and visualizing mathematical relations, etc.) to formulate, explore and identify properties or relations to share, discuss and support mathematical conjectures. In this context, the participants recognized and valued the importance of using several tools to both dynamically represent and explore mathematical tasks and to share and constantly refine their mathematical ideas and problem-solving approaches.
