GUACANEME S., Edgar Alberto; TORRES-R., Ligia Amparo  and  ARBOLEDA-A., Luis Carlos. Curricular Strategies of Formation in History of Mathematics in Bachelor's Degrees in Mathematics in Colombia. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Tecnol. [online]. 2019, n.46, pp.57-80. ISSN 0121-3814.

Taking into account the need to know how the History of Mathematics (HM) is being managed in the initial training programs of mathematics teachers, this research article characterizes the curricular strategies for the formation of historical knowledge of Mathematics in nine Colombian degrees. In this sense, we sought to answer four classic questions: why, for what, what and how the study of HM is carried out in the Bachelor's degrees. Around each of these questions, two conceptual systems were postulated that served as categories of analysis of the information under study. This was collected through a strategy that included the development of a panel of professors, the study of curricular documents of the degrees, and the development of interviews with teachers and students. As a result of the research, there are answers that refer to: the impact of the existence of professors or study / research groups that assume the HM in the knowledge of the professor of Mathematics as an academic company, the power attributed to the study of the HM in relation to the generation of alternative visions of Mathematics and its objects, the drives that occur in the election of a HM that is debated between its general version and the HM of specific mathematical objects, or the diverse role that has the HM in the curricula of the degrees.

Keywords : History of Mathematics, teacher training; curricular strategies.
