GONZALEZ, Fredy E.. THE DYNAMIC P2MA AS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THE MATHEMATIC TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS. Investigación y Postgrado [online]. 2003, vol.18, n.2, pp.43-76. ISSN 1316-0087.

This paper presents a didactic proposal coming from a piece of research performed by this author and a group of mathematic student teachers. The limitations of the traditional mathematic teaching and learning process becomes the context for creating new didactic models. This paper presents a review of the ontological, pedagogical and epistemological perspectives held by traditional mathematic teaching. It also presents a socio cognitive perspective of learning, associated with emergent ideas on mathematic learning. From there, this author propose the dynamic P²MA (teacher, problem, mathematic, student) as an alternative for the mathematic teaching and learning process. This proposal is based in: (a) problem solving, (b) pupil development of consciousness from his own cognitive behavior, and (c) mathematic as a special way of thinking in class, as a community for producing and socializing mathematical knowledge.
