Abstract

In this work we describe the role of problem solving in different documents of the Chilean official curriculum in primary education. Our theoretical framework takes into account three dimensions of problem solving: the roles it can play according to Schoenfeld (1992), and Schroeder and Lester (1989); the characteristics that facilitate its incorporation into the curriculum and the types of problems suggested in the curricular documents. We developed a system of categories and carried out a content analysis. We conclude that the documents reflect different and even contradictory views on the role of problem solving for the teaching of mathematics, hindering its full implementation as provided in official regulations.
