The Mathematics Education Laboratory of the University of Minho, Portugal: a resilient history

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to tell the story of the second Mathematics Education Laboratory set up in Higher Education in Portugal, at the University of Minho (LEM-Uminho) in Braga. The paper seeks to understand the perspectives inherent in its creation and evolution, to scrutinize the training practices that have taken place there and to identify the challenges facing its sustainability. This is a narrative investigation and, in order to produce and collect the data, we opted for interviews and documents focused on the laboratory. The analysis revealed that the LEM-UMinho was established in 1997 and that its creation and trajectory represent a continuous effort to promote training paths that have repercussions on humanized educational practices in Mathematics.
