Abstract

In the context of a postgraduate training course, we identify some aspects that could be affecting Mathematics teachers' identity configuration. From the perspective of Sfard & Prusak (2005a, 2005b) we analyzed the blogs of six teachers written along the course, focusing on aspects that could give information about designated and real identity. We noted that changes in the identity are mainly related to the focus of teachers in their classrooms: learning or mathematical objects.
