Researching the use of old professional journals as a tool for infant education prospective teachers training
Résumé
In the context of teacher training, it has been seen that use of original sources is an interesting tool
in developing prospective teachers’ professional knowledge. The existent literature is usually based
on the use of mathematical texts or, at least, it focuses mostly on the mathematical aspects of the
considered sources. In this work, we present the design of a research project in which, using some
1940s excerpts about elementary arithmetic coming from a Spanish journal called Escuela Española
[Spanish School], we design and implement some activities with prospective infant education
teachers. We also provide some initial results coming from the analysis of the prospective teachers’
written productions. These results seem promising in order to determine the usefulness of this type of
source material in a context of infant teacher training, and to understand the way in which our
students interact with the mathematical and pedagogical aspects of a historical document.
