This paper addresses the irruptive potentiality of language in rethinking pivotal concepts in pre-service and in-service teacher education. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari's reconceptualization of language, we undertake a radical undoing of dominant concepts of pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment as 'order-words' that variously segment, delimit,…

This study aims to develop a GeoGebra-supported learning kit for teaching polygons and to examine mathematics teachers' opinions about it. The research was designed using a descriptive research model. The study group comprised 11 mathematics teachers who voluntarily participated in the in-service training called 'Dynamic Math Software (Geogebra)'…
