Abstract
ALVES, Francisco Regis Vieira. A perspective on the learning and activity of the mathematics teacher: a point of view derived from Professional Didactics (DP). Acta Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.43, e50397. Epub Nov 01, 2020. ISSN 2178-5201. https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v43i1.50397.
The professional activity developed in the teacher's work cannot be considered hermetically as a set of specialized tasks required by a school. On the other hand, when we observe the teacher's activity, from the cognitivist point of view, a large repertoire of knowledge is developed and incorporated in the face of the complex problems inherent in the exercise of the activity. Thus, in the present work, from a point of view based on Professional Didactics, we present some elements that allow us to understand the activity and learning of the math teacher facing the resolution of professional tasks. Thus, the notion of work situation leads to a polarization of modeling activities aimed at teaching mathematics and the identification of certain theoretical entities whose cognitive nature reveals an understanding of the functioning of the teacher's action, whether the action of the beginning teacher in math or experienced teacher.
