| description | We present the continuation of a study on an international MOOC for the training of mathematics teachers who were introduced to the methodology of outdoor mathematics through MathCityMap. Previously, we presented the immediate learning and professional development outcomes achieved by teachers who participated in the MOOC. Here, using the theoretical framework of Meta-Didactical Transposition and performing a mixed-type analysis, we investigate the long-term impact of the MOOC on these teachers to whom we administered a questionnaire one year after the end of the MOOC. We conclude that for these teachers, practising mathematics outdoors has become a consolidated teaching practice, but they still feel quite uncomfortable for structural reasons about using some pedagogical instruments they have learned in the MOOC. |
