Specific Mathematics for Teaching Discourse: the art of governing

Authors

Keywords:

Math Education, Discourse, Power, Governmentality.

Abstract

The article discusses how the Mathematics discourse specific to teaching has proposed the conduct of mathematics teachers. It is a theoretical essay resulting from a Foucaultian problematization that focused on studies dealing with Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching, the Specialized Knowledge of the Math Teacher and Mathematics for Teaching. This discourse puts into practice different types of power, mobilizing strategies and tactics in order to activate the technology named Technology of Mathematical Specificity. The results suggest that the behaviors made available by this discourse move between individual and disciplinary logic to government logic.
