This contribution presents some recent advances in our use of Habermas' construct of rationality in pre-service teacher education. The construct of rationality is adapted and made suitable to describe different forms of rationality in different mathematical domains; such a description is shown to be efficient to guide the planning and implementation of teacher education tasks. Furthermore, the construct of rationality may be progressively acquired by prospective teachers as a theoretical tool for their a priori analysis of classroom tasks and for the analysis of student' productions. As such, the construct of rationality may work as a tool both for teacher educators (guiding their design of a teacher education sequence) and for teachers (when they perform the Cultural Analysis of the Content to be taught--CAC).

Abstract

This contribution presents some recent advances in our use of Habermas' construct of rationality in pre-service teacher education. The construct of rationality is adapted and made suitable to describe different forms of rationality in different mathematical domains; such a description is shown to be efficient to guide the planning and implementation of teacher education tasks. Furthermore, the construct of rationality may be progressively acquired by prospective teachers as a theoretical tool for their a priori analysis of classroom tasks and for the analysis of student' productions. As such, the construct of rationality may work as a tool both for teacher educators (guiding their design of a teacher education sequence) and for teachers (when they perform the Cultural Analysis of the Content to be taught--CAC).
