Abstract

This research focused on the classroom management that a teacher performs during a problem formulation task with students in Early Childhood Education (4-5 years old). By means of a single case study, we focused on identifying the mathematical demands that the teacher establishes to favor progress in the formulation of a problem, the students' activity that triggers them and the relationships between both. The results indicate that most of the mathematical demands are oriented to favor the development of the context of the problem and reveal that the difficulties that trigger them are linked to the non-mathematical meaning of problem that prevails in the students.

Degree in Mathematics in 1996 and PhD in Psychopedagogy (thesis in Didactics of Mathematics) in 2002. Associate Professor in the area of Didactics of Mathematics at the University of Huelva since 2011. Recognition of three sexenios of research by the National Commission for the Evaluation of Research Activity (Spain). Experience as a trainer of Primary and Secondary teachers in relation to the teaching of mathematics in initial and continuous training, as well as teaching in Master's and Doctoral programmes in Didactics of Mathematics. Lines of research: Knowledge and professional development of mathematics teachers. Mathematics teacher training. This experience has been linked to collaborative research projects with teachers at different educational levels (from 1999 to the present), research projects funded by the national R+D+i programme, European and Mexican government as a collaborating researcher.
