The main activity in this part of the lesson is for the student teachers in their groups to generate “rules” or “main steps” to be followed when doing division of decimal numbers. Again here, Mr. Chipasula facilitated the discussions that focus on the procedures for school mathematics teaching. It seemed that he was of the view that suggested (school) mathematics teaching as consisting mainly of the teacher transferring facts, rules and mathematical truths to the school learners, who are viewed as passive recipients of knowledge (Ernest, 1991). The teachers in this case are positioned as experts over passive school learners. The discourse of Mr. Chipasula, therefore, restricts the student teachers to a procedural discourse for a school mathematics teaching.
