| description | This research paper presents the result of a research process whose objective was to analyze and describe the epistemological beliefs that athematics teachers have about mathematics, its teaching and their relation with their actual teaching practice. The case study methodology was used involving three teachers, each one of them with over ten years of experience, who conducted a short course about a historical tour of quadratic equations, which was aimed to challenge the epistemological beliefs of the participants and to promote reflections on the matter. In order to collect the information closed questionnaires were applied, semi-structured interviews were conductedand teachers presented a proposal for teaching quadratic equations incorporating the aspects studied in the course. The results evidenced that teachers have endeavored to build a coherent epistemology between mathematics and its teaching and learning, but difficulties do persist. |

Se presenta el resultado de un proceso investigativo cuyo objetivo fue analizar y describir las creencias epistemológicas que tienen docentes de matemáticas sobre la matemática, su enseñanza y la relación de estas con su práctica docente. Se utilizó una metodología de estudio de casos con la participación de tres docentes, cada uno con más de diez años de experiencia, quienes realizaron un curso de corta duración alrededor de un recorrido histórico de las ecuaciones cuadráticas, que estuvo orientado a desafiar las creencias epistemológicas de los participantes y a promover reflexión al respecto. Para recoger la información se aplicaron cuestionarios cerrados, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas y los docentes presentaron una propuesta para la enseñanza de las ecuaciones cuadráticas incorporando los aspectos estudiados en el curso. Los resultados permiten evidenciar que los docentes se han esforzado en construir una epistemología coherente entre la matemática y su enseñanza y aprendizaje, pero persisten dificultades para lograrlo. 2017-09-13 2024-10-10T02:34:44Z 2024-10-10T02:34:44Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 https://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/papeles/article/view/449 10.54104/papeles.v8n16.449 https://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/10837 spa https://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/papeles/article/view/449/382 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf UNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑO Papeles; Vol. 8 No. 16 (2016); 11-25 Papeles; Vol. 8 Núm. 16 (2016); 11-25 Papeles; v. 8 n. 16 (2016); 11-25 2346-0911 0123-0670 10.54104/papeles.v8n16 |
