Analysing classroom situations belongs to the everyday requirements of mathematics teachers. From the perspective of professional development, empirical evidence related to the growth of this aspect of teacher expertise however is still scarce. Consequently, this study focuses on developments in the way pre-service teachers analyse classroom situations. In a first approach, we concentrated on pre-service teachers' analysis of how representations are dealt with in the classroom, which is a key for fostering students' understanding. The study examined whether it is possible to develop the pre-service teachers' analysis through a specific university course. The results suggest that the quality of the participants' analyses increased significantly according to several relevant criteria.
