Abstract

This essay aims to analyze the use of coaching as a strategy to optimize mathematics teaching, highlighting its potential to transform the teacher's role and promote more meaningful learning. The article follows a theoretical-reflective modality, grounded in a documentary review of key sources such as Whitmore (2011) and Bou (2007), which enables the articulation of the coaching approach with the foundations of constructivist learning theory. Methodologically, it adopts a descriptive approach, focused on the conceptual exploration of coaching elements and their applicability in the educational context. Among the main findings, coaching is shown to foster motivation, self-regulation of learning, personal responsibility, and improved academic performance. Finally, it is concluded that implementing coaching in the mathematics classroom encourages a collaborative and transformative environment centered on the student and represents an effective alternative to innovate pedagogical practice and develop cognitive, emotional, and social competencies.
