description This essay suggests that when an elementary school teacher has an instrumental understanding of the mathematical content, they rely on arbitrary procedures or “shortcuts” to teach. In other words, they resort to mechanical steps to solve problems or operations, often oversimplifying the underlying concepts. Based on the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching framework proposed by Ball et al. (2008) and the Knowledge of Topics (KoT) proposed by Carrillo-Yañez et  al. (2018), this essay delves into the domains of knowledge involved in teaching mathematics, emphasizing the specialized content knowledge domain. This domain goes beyond merely solving problems or executing operations accurately; it implies a profound comprehension of the underlying mathematical concepts and their interconnectedness. Through the analysis of some “shortcuts” used by elementary school teachers, the authors seek to promote reflections on the importance of specialized content knowledge in teacher education.

Sobre la base del marco del conocimiento matemático para la enseñanza propuesto por Ball et al. (2008) y el conocimiento de los temas (KoT) propuesto por Carrillo-Yañez et al. (2018), se describen los dominios de conocimientos implicados en la enseñanza de las matemáticas, en particular el conocimiento especializado del contenido matemático. Este no solo permite resolver un problema o realizar una operación correctamente, sino que implica comprender a profundidad las nociones matemáticas que subyacen y las conexiones entre estas. A través del análisis de algunos artificios, las autoras buscan promover la reflexión sobre la importancia del conocimiento especializado del contenido matemático en la formación docente.Este artigo argumenta que, quando um professor do ensino fundamental possui uma compreensão instrumental do conteúdo matemático, ele recorre a artifícios para ensinar, ou seja, utiliza procedimentos mecânicos para resolver problemas ou operações matemáticas, simplificando excessivamente os conceitos envolvidos na resolução. Com base no modelo do Conhecimento Matemático para o Ensino proposto por Ball et al. (2008) e no Conhecimento de Tópicos (KoT) proposto por Carrillo-Yañez et  al. (2018), são descritos os domínios de conhecimento envolvidos no ensino de matemática, em particular o conhecimento especializado do conteúdo matemático. Esse conhecimento não apenas permite resolver um problema ou realizar uma operação corretamente, mas também implica uma compreensão profunda das noções matemáticas subjacentes e das conexões entre elas. Por meio da análise de alguns artifícios, as autoras buscam promover a reflexão sobre a importância do conhecimento especializado do conteúdo matemático na formação de professores.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2024-09-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/educacion/article/view/2966610.18800/educacion.202402.E003Educación; Vol. 33 Núm. 65 (2024); 213-2392304-43221019-9403reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/educacion/article/view/29666/26753http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/296662024-09-26T19:42:15Z
