Mathematical knowledge for teaching geometric proof: Learning from teachers' practices
Résumé
The aim of mathematics education courses in both undergraduate and post graduate programmes in Malawi is to improve teacher’s mathematical knowledge for teaching. Although the number of colleges and universities offering secondary mathematics education courses is increasing in Malawi, the quality of teaching has not improved to a greater extent (Government of Malawi, 2009). The capacity of the teachers to teach geometric proof in particular is still inadequate. The purpose of the study in progress, is to explore the knowledge that teachers require in order to teach geometric proof well in Malawian context. The initial findings of document analysis and the pilot study results will be presented in the poster.
