Abstract

In this paper, we analyse how 31 in-service teachers study the question that could generate a Study and Research Path (SRP): How does a parabolic antenna work? We also consider how they design lessons based on this question, by adopting notions of the anthropological theory of the didactic (ATD). The teachers investigated the question individually and in groups during an on-line course on Mathematics Didactics. Then, the teachers were asked to organize a possible instruction oriented to an institution known to them, based on the question they analysed before. The written texts produced by the teachers in both roles, studying the question and planning lessons are analysed using qualitative techniques and the concept of SRP. The results describe the main difficulties of in-service teachers in planning instruction according to the paradigm of research and questioning the world proposed by the ATD.
