Abstract
Mathematics education in secondary schools should not only provide content knowledge but also an understanding of the fundamental processes by which new mathematical knowledge is created – students should experience how mathematics ‘works’ as a discipline. Initiating this, however, has been shown to be a major challenge for teachers. We therefore undertook a developmental project to design courses that would better prepare pre-service teachers for this task. In this article, we conduct an analysis of the project from a design-research perspective, which provides as a result the theoretical output of the project in the form of an articulated design principle.
