Abstract

The results of PISA 2018 in mathematics indicate that 80% of Mexican students are at the lowest levels (1 and 2 of the six existing), which has been associated, both with deficiencies in basic mathematical processes, and with academic emotions (Pekrun, 2014), mainley anxiety. This paper describes the design and implementation of ProfeMat, an online course for high school teachers, which aims to: train teachers in strategies to promote logical-mathematical reasoning, emotions and positive attitudes towards this subject, introduce them to the use of the Lesson Study methodology (Kanellopoulou and Darra, 2019) and provide them with digital tools to improve their courses. The results indicate that the teachers managed to duplicate their self-perception of mastery of the course contents in a substantial way, and learned to design lessons in a collaborative way incorporating digital tools, which contributes to improving learning and attitudes towards mathematics.
