The objective of this research was to characterize the pedagogical content knowledge put into play in the design of a plan for teaching location in the Cartesian plane. For this purpose, the theoretical model Mathematics Teacher's Specialized Knowledge (MTSK) was used as an analytical tool to study the knowledge mobilized by the teacher. The methodology was qualitative through an instrumental case study with a Colombian teacher. The information was collected through the design of a lesson plan and a semi-structured interview. As a result of the analysis, descriptors were obtained that theoretically grounded the knowledge mobilized by the teacher. The lesson plan was shown to be a favorable scenario for studying the teacher's didactic knowledge used in the teaching of mathematics. The fact of knowing different teaching strategies, students' expectations and interests, and possessing knowledge of the mathematical competences to be developed, allows the teacher's didactic contributions to be seen as additional knowledge to mathematical knowledge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
