A model for pre-service service teaching education focused on the development of mathematical knowledge for teaching: perception of future teachers

This paper reports the main results of a study on a didactic device that seeks to support mathematics courses of pre-service education programs for Primary School teachers. This device was designed to support the development of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching, the collaborative construction of mathematical knowledge and situated learning. The preliminary results, based on the analysis of the perception that future teachers have of the device, suggest that it reflects in a coherent manner the principles that guide its design.
