Statements and discourses about the mathematics teacher. The research subjectivation

Abstract

International audience ; The research fabricates an image of mathematics teachers , which shape our knowledge and truths about teachers. This image sustains the development of different discursive formations. The image's configuration is entangled with spatio-temporal conditions, which are shaped by diverse social, cultural and political contexts. In this work, we are studying discourses —about the mathematics teacher that are circulating in the re-search— from some theoretical toolbox of Foucault (1980) and Deleuze (1994) and from the methodological toolbox of Pais and Valero (2012). We are seeking to explore how discourses are operating in the fabrication of the mathematics teacher as a subject and in the production of truths about them.
