summary

The issue of education/learning not only raises an epistemological question about the content of knowledge being taught but also about how this knowledge is organized into dense curricula, often requiring careful consideration. It also necessitates reflecting on the methodology employed or the teacher's practices, as well as the pedagogical approach that allows for sustainable learning. In general, the current teaching of mathematics and sciences in educational institutions lacks both epistemological and didactic dimensions. In our teaching approach, the issue of concept definition and the selection of methods for constructing knowledge in the classroom to achieve specific learning goals are rarely addressed. The relationship between teacher and student is often reduced to its simplest form mechanical teaching where the teacher confuses teaching time with learning time.
