The teacher’s personal epistemology (epistemic reasoning, beliefs and emotions) acts as a component of the cognitive and emotional conditions of a task required of students. The strategy of analogy as a tool to foster the students’ commitment and motivation in both real world and mathematical transitions, as well as the creation of multiple connections: both vertical (within the world of mathematics) and horizontal (within the real world, outside of mathematics) is prioritised. This paper proposes a conceptualisation of the term personal epistemology, from the current ontology and epistemology of mathematical knowledge.engbook parthttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-04432-9_9restricted accessDidácticaMatemáticas (Matemáticas)5801 Teoría y Métodos Educativos
