Résumé

Pre-service elementary school teachers in France are mostly non-scientific students and their feelings with mathematics are often made of reluctance and mistrust. An experimentation in the first year of mathematic courses was realised with the aim of changing positively these feelings. This article shows the impact of mobilizing student’s rationality and emotions about mathematical notions.

Abstract

Pre-service elementary school teachers in France are mostly non-scientific students and their feelings with mathematics are often made of reluctance and mistrust. An experimentation in the first year of mathematic courses was realised with the aim of changing positively these feelings. This article shows the impact of mobilizing student’s rationality and emotions about mathematical notions.
