In this study, we address the issue of mathematics teachers’ personal and professional responsiveness to changing circumstances, such as the shift in external demands made on teacher practice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For investigating a such delicate issue, we take a theoretical approach, which is quite novel in the feld of mathematics education: Lacan’s psychoanalytical lens. Specifcally, we will use this psychoanalytical lens to analyze a case study focusing on a primary school teacher during the frst lockdown in Italy, during which school was organized exclusively in the form of distance education. The analysis of the teacher’s crisis and the strategies she adopted to overcome this crisis give some suggestions about possible directions and issues to consider for future mathematics teacher training proposals.

Abstract

In this study, we address the issue of mathematics teachers’ personal and professional responsiveness to changing circumstances, such as the shift in external demands made on teacher practice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For investigating a such delicate issue, we take a theoretical approach, which is quite novel in the feld of mathematics education: Lacan’s psychoanalytical lens. Specifcally, we will use this psychoanalytical lens to analyze a case study focusing on a primary school teacher during the frst lockdown in Italy, during which school was organized exclusively in the form of distance education. The analysis of the teacher’s crisis and the strategies she adopted to overcome this crisis give some suggestions about possible directions and issues to consider for future mathematics teacher training proposals.
