Concepciones y creencias de los profesores universitarios de matemáticas acerca de la enseñanza de las ecuaciones diferenciales

Abstract

This research is an approach to the conceptions and beliefs of mathematics university professors related to the teaching of differential equations in scientific-experimental studies. Besides an attempt to characterize each professor as per their conceptions and beliefs and to establish how coherent they are, the results of the analysis show the continuity of traditional teaching methods. The differences and similarities in each professor’s conceptions and beliefs and their level of coherence have prompted us to establish three groups of professors, that we have labelled I, II and III.
