Questioning the teaching of research and mathematical modelling: why and how? Example of two university training programmes
Interroger l'enseignement de l'activité de recherche et de modélisation mathématique : pourquoi et comment ? Exemple de deux dispositifs de formation à l'Université
Résumé
This article describes the design and content of two training programmes aimed at examining the teaching of a mathematical problem-solving activity from an epistemological and didactic point of view. The first focuses on the mathematical modelling activity and the second on the mathematical research activity. These training programmes are backed up by research into the didactics of mathematics, rooted in epistemological studies that examine the nature, emergence, evolution and current state of the practices of researchers linked to a mathematical activity (modelling or research). Three guiding ideas underpin these training programmes: putting students in the position of researchers, providing students with tools for identifying and analysing students' mathematical activity, and analysing teaching methods that enable students to engage in mathematical activity (modelling or research).
