Abstract

This doctoral thesis addresses the study of mathematical modelling from the perspective of different theoretical frameworks of Mathematics Education and its implementation in the educational internship experiences of prospective secondary and baccalaureate education teachers. Finally, a semiotic-cognitive modelling cycle is proposed to analyse this mathematical process.
