AbstractIn 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 field of mathematics education: Lacan's psychoanalytical lens. Specifically, we will use this psychoanalytical lens to analyze a case study focusing on a primary school teacher during the first 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.

Opening ParagraphThe following text was the last to be recorded by my Nyoro assistant, Mr. Perezi Mpuru, before his sudden and untimely death in July 1953. I present a full translation of it here because I believe that as well as providing an illuminating picture of some aspects of Nyoro village life, it also vividly illustrates some of the ways in which participation in a new and wider social and economic world can affect the everyday lives of members of an African rural community. The story was told to my assistant over a period of two or three days by a middle-aged man, Yowana, who had been a primary school-teacher. As well as bringing up his own son and daughter, Eriya and Mariya, Yowana had also brought up another boy, Yozefu, who was the son of neighbours who had died, although he still had relatives living some miles away.

Case study is one of the active approaches to learning, which is considered a more effective way to develop professional skills and achieve learning outcomes than traditional teaching methods. However interactive teaching methods require more responsibility, innovation of the primary school teacher and involvement of students in the educational process. The article examines the problem of introducing into the practice of primary school teachers the method of studying situations (case study) as a promising method of forming an educated, creative personality. The expediency of using case-based technologies for the formation of vital competence junior student, improving the quality of education in primary schools. Case study is considered by specialists as a method of interactive learning that provides a combination of theory with practice and knowledge with competencies. This method allows to implement the learning process in primary school on fundamentally different methodological approaches. Features, types, forms and other methodical characteristics of cases are considered, the structure of lessons in elementary school with use of a case method is described. The problems of introduction of the method in the educational process of primary school are also described. It is characterized by the means of the teacher's work in the context of the use of case-methods in more educated students. It was found solutions such research tasks as – understanding of the case as a multi-functional technologies; – characterization of educational opportunities Case technology; Studying of its content, the main types of structure in terms of achieving the objectives of formation of vital competence of the younger schoolboy. Тhe basic components of this technology are analyzed. It is noted that the work with cases in the classroom allows applying the theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems, helps to develop students' independent thinking, linking theory with practice. The work with cases is creative and is a determiner of the high level of teaching.

Abstract Recent research indicates that using multimodal learning experiences can be effective in teaching mathematics. Using a social semiotic lens within a participationist framework, this paper reports on a professional learning collaboration with a primary school teacher designed to explore the use of metaphors and modalities in mathematics instruction. This video case study was conducted in a year 2 classroom over two terms, with the focus on building children’s understanding of computational strategies. The findings revealed that the teacher was able to successfully plan both multimodal and multiple metaphor learning experiences that acted as semiotic resources to support the children’s understanding of abstract mathematics. The study also led to implications for teaching when using multiple metaphors and multimodalities.

The aim of this research is to develop a media for learning mathematics in "Opung HAN" elementary school based on Interactive Audio Instruction (IAI) for students majoring in UNIMED elementary school teacher education. The IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction media was compiled based on observations during the learning and analysis conducted on the dictates of high-class mathematics education courses and interviews conducted with elementary school teacher education students, where teachers were very difficult to convey material related to fractions, The teacher does not know what media to use in teaching broken material. On the other hand, in the high school mathematics education textbook, there is also no media / teaching aids that can be used to teach fractional material. The specific purpose of this research is: developing IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction media which will later be used by students majoring in primary school teacher education in teaching fraction material when they later become a teacher. This research uses development research (Developmental Research). The subjects of this study were students majoring in primary school teacher education at the State University of Medan. In the initial stage, observations were made during the learning process, analysis of the dictates of high-level mathematics education courses and continued with interviews with students. From the results of these observations and interviews, an initial draft of the IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction was compiled. Furthermore, the initial design of the IAI-based "Opung HAN" fraction media was validated by a team that aimed to assess the quality of these elementary mathematics learning media fractions so that the fractional media became effective learning media which would later be used by lecturers and students in the lecture process.Keywords :  IAI, Fraction media, math learning.

The aim of this research is to provide the formation of knowledge and professional competence of primary school teachers with online education. The research was conducted in the summer term of 2020-2021. 436 primary school teachers who continue their studies in Kazakhstan participated in the research. For the research, 6 weeks of online training on professional competence was given to primary school teachers. The measurement tool called "Online Education and Vocational Competence", which was developed by the researchers and compiled by taking the opinion of experts in the field, was applied to primary school teachers. The data was shared with primary school teachers from the internet with an online questionnaire, and their participation was ensured and collected. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values ​​were used to analyze the data obtained from the Vocational Competence measurement tool.According to the results of the research, the information was examined and in the light of the obtained information, it was observed that the distance education and professional competence status of the primary school teachers showed positive results. Even though their opinions are high, it has been concluded that the online usage status of male teachers is higher than female teachers.
