Résumé
Despite the importance of proving across all school years, little is known about primary teachers’ knowledge and views about a special form of proving activity described as Lakatos-style and associated with authentic engagement with mathematics even in primary school. We aimed to identify profiles of primary teachers based on their mathematical knowledge (of content, students, and teaching practices) and views (related to value, cost, and expectancy) about Lakatos-style proving activity. 331 participants responded to a vignette-based survey with 66 Likert-scale items referring to comic-style classroom episodes. Latent profile analysis revealed six teacher profiles reflecting a wide range of views, various levels of knowledge, and combinations thereof. Future research and teacher education practice can consider the unique characteristics of each profile to provide appropriate support to teachers based on each profile’s strengths and needs.
