Résumé
This study explores a mathematics teacher educator’s activity during an undergraduate course about problem solving by incorporating a session on environmental socio-scientific issues. The data came from the audio taped teaching session and an interview with the teacher educator. We view the teacher educator’s activity through the lens of Activity Theory. The aim of this activity is to support prospective mathematics teachers to design and enact tasks relevant to such issues in mathematics classrooms. Our analysis reveals that the teacher educator adopted a pattern of four actions to convince prospective mathematics teachers of the significance of including tasks related to environmental issue in their teaching. Analysis also shows the challenges the teacher educator had to deal with in order to fulfill the object of the activity.
