Abstract

The teaching of Mathematics is an unsolved and controversial issue. In this article some topics are analyzed which are sistemacically questioned in different publications about the teaching of Mathematics such as the programmes of study, the role of teachers and their training, the different methods and the teaching-learning activities, and the role of computers. This article also tries to make readers think about the teaching of Mathematics and its relation with two other disciplines which are considered relevant: epistemology and educational psichology. This relationship is so considered because the teaching-learning process is regarded from a multidiscipline perspective where other scientific disciplines influence the teaching of Matematics.
