Abstract

This essay deals with the benefits that the task of problem posing brings to the construction of mathematical knowledge and to its educational success. Positive factors of such a task are: the increase of mathematical knowledge, motivation and creativity; the decrease of anxiety, the overcoming of mathematical mistakes and as a possible instrument of evaluation for the teacher. We justify the relevance of studying the field of problem posing by starting from a double channel: the research carried out in Mathematical Education and the guidelines that different curricular documents lay out. This article presents some of the most relevant studies that have been carried out up to the present where problem posing by pupils is related to fields like problem solving, instruction, technology, evaluation and teaching methods.
