Abstract

Introduction: Mathematics teaching requires solid teacher professional development and a deep understanding of educational practices. Methodology: The quantitative and cross-sectional study used a closed questionnaire, addressed to 73 secondary and high school mathematics teachers in Melilla, with a final sample of 61 teachers. The questionnaire, distributed via Google Forms, included 107 questions in 23 indicators and 5 dimensions. Results: Experience influenced students' awareness of common errors, being higher in teachers with more years of teaching. No significant differences were found in the evaluation of student learning according to experience. Teachers with more experience showed greater skills in organizing classroom dynamics. Discussion: Experience improves the identification and management of common errors and classroom organization. However, assessment of learning does not vary significantly with experience, suggesting other influential factors. Conclusions: Teaching experience is important in mathematics teaching, but continuing education is essential for all teachers to ensure effective, high-quality teaching.
