Abstract
This paper describes some general aspects of the problem posing approach, as developed at the CSMEU. It describes why this approach has been developed; what didactical problem it tries to focus on; from what perspective this is done; to what didactical structures such an approach may lead, and what its application may involve for a teacher. The arguments are endorsed by examples taken from recent PhD work, but placed within a wider perspective.
