MONTECINO, Alex. The professional mathematics teacher: fabricating and governing the becoming of the teacher. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.141-154.  Epub June 18, 2019. ISSN 2177-6210.  https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2019.231.09.

This paper aims at unpacking the becoming of the mathematics teacher as a professional immerse in the Chilean society, by mapping the changes that have taken within his/her fabrication and governing. A Foucault–inspired history of the present is deployed, as analytical strategy, to problematize how the discursive assemblage of social development and school mathematics produces a particular teacher—an autonomous professional that has to engage in continuous training and has to be a good decision-maker, framed within political and economic agenda. Ways of conceiving and understand the mathematics teacher are (re)producing a discursive network that operates as a technology of government for the fabrication of the desired mathematics teacher.

Keywords : becoming; history of the present; mathematics teacher; Foucault.
