Today's Mathematics teacher must be innovative, handle various teaching strategies and design classes where their role goes from protagonist to facilitator so that they abandon the idea of ​​teaching algebra to teach algebra and instead of teaching mathematics, they can offer their students students the conditions so that they can mathematize. Neither their disciplinary nor pedagogical knowledge is enough for this.
The Master in Mathematics Didactics from the Alberto Hurtado University, comes to answer this need through the contributions that Mathematics Didactics is providing for this, considering the interaction that exists between school and formal mathematics in terms of how address the phenomena of teaching and learning through a didactic analysis of specific content.
The objective is for the professional to design, apply and evaluate teaching proposals for a meaningful learning of their students, critically analyzing the mathematics curriculum and fostering continuous reflection on teaching practice in the area. This professional program lasts for 4 semesters.
It includes as a central core the didactics by axis: algebra, geometry and numbers, and statistics and Probabilities. These courses are based on didactic analysis, that is, the review of phenomenological, cognitive, conceptual, curricular and historical-epistemological aspects that provide the teacher with the foundations to intervene in the phenomena of the mathematics classroom and internally validate their practice.
It is aimed at Teachers of Mathematics, graduates or in the process of graduation, graduates in Mathematics, Teachers of Basic Education.
