Abstract

Determining what the Mathematics teacher must master is a fundamental aspect to specify what the correct preparation of said teacher should be, which is a widely debated topic, on which there are various proposals for action, in each of which can be find positive aspects, despite the different approaches found in the specialized literature, at least there is consensus that such preparation must be composed of mathematical knowledge and didactic knowledge, which is supported by research, experiences and proposals aimed at achieving a good preparation of these professionals; several authors have specified the notion of Pedagogical Content Knowledge for the teaching of Mathematics, understanding as such the mastery of the mathematical content to be explained together with the appropriate didactic procedures to explain said content, other authors refer to the Specific Knowledge of the Content, as the “mathematical knowledge to teach”. The objective of this work is to scientifically argue the domain of epistemological and ontological characteristics of Mathematics, which can allow the teacher to establish the appropriate link between mathematical knowledge and didactic knowledge.
