Abstract
In this paper, we present a study on the instruction offered in a professionalization program for math teachers from the online and distance programs of the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico. The study is based on Wenger's (1998, 2010) theory of communities of practice (CoP), and particularly on the concepts of competence and experience. We analyze the teachers' interactions during their participation in a learning unit on the didactic resources of and for math teachers. The analysis focuses on the interaction between the teachers' experience and the competence promoted by educators in order to align that experience. We conclude that the alignment between the teachers' experience and the competence that they represent is essential to promote equity in teachers' learning.
