ALQAHTANI, Muteb M. y POWELL, Arthur B.. Instrumental Development of Teachers’ Reasoning in Dynamic Geometry. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.1, pp.318-327. ISSN 1982-7199. https://doi.org/10.14244/198271991178.
To contribute to understanding how teachers can develop geometrical understanding, we report on the discursive development of teachers’ geometrical reasoning through instrument appropriation while collaborating in an online dynamic geometry environment (DGE). Using the theory of instrument-mediated activity, we analysis the discourse and DGE actions of a group of middle and high school mathematics teachers who participated in a semester-long, professional development course. Working in small teams, they collaborated to solve geometric problems. Our results show that as teachers appropriate DGE artifacts and transform its components into instruments, they develop their geometrical knowledge and reasoning in dynamic geometry. Our study contributes to a broad understanding of how teachers develop mathematical knowledge for teaching.
