How elementary prospective teachers use three fraction models: their perceptions and difficultiesJournal of Mathematics Teacher Education - Tập 26 - Trang 455-480 - 2022
Ji-Eun Lee, Mi Yeon Lee
This study is an examination of 79 elementary prospective teachers’ (PSTs’) capacity for recognizing the core ideas involved in modeling fraction addition problems and their difficulties in solving and presenting the process of fraction addition using area, length, and set models. PSTs completed a written task in which they represented the process of solving a set of fraction addition problems of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Opportunities for learning given to prospective mathematics teachers: between ritual and explorative instructionJournal of Mathematics Teacher Education - Tập 19 - Trang 547-574 - 2015
Einat Heyd-Metzuyanim, Michal Tabach, Talli Nachlieli
The mathematics education field, including prospective teacher education program, has seen a continuous effort to change teaching practices to be more cognitively demanding, conceptually oriented and student centred. Our goal in this study was to examine how certain underlying assumptions about mathematical learning, as reflected in a skilled instructor’s discourse, align with opportunities to lea...... hiện toàn bộ
“Children know more than I think they do”: the evolution of one teacher’s views about equitable mathematics teachingJournal of Mathematics Teacher Education - Tập 22 - Trang 153-177 - 2017
Mathew D. Felton-Koestler
In this paper I present a case study of one teacher, Harriet, and how her beliefs and practices regarding “equity” and “social justice” in mathematics developed over several years. I use Valsiner’s (Culture and the development of children’s action: a theory of human development, 2nd edn, Wiley, New York, 1997) zone theory to examine the evolution of Harriet’s views and practices of mathematics tea...... hiện toàn bộ
Factor analysis and psychometric evaluation of the mathematical modeling attitude scale for teachers of mathematicsJournal of Mathematics Teacher Education - Tập 25 - Trang 131-161 - 2020
Reuben S. Asempapa, Gordon P. Brooks
The effective teaching and learning of mathematics through mathematical modeling and connecting mathematics to the real world has gained rapid growth at various educational levels all over the world. The growth in modeling practices in the United States of America (US) and the international community is the result of the development and implementation of new mathematics standards and curricula acr...... hiện toàn bộ
Learning to Teach Elementary Mathematics: Ecological Elements of a Field ExperienceJournal of Mathematics Teacher Education - Tập 3 - Trang 27-46 - 2000
Denise S. Mewborn
Three elements of the ecology of a mathematics methodsfield experience were particularly important topromoting a shift in locus of authority thatprecipitated reflective thinking among the preserviceteachers: (a) an inquiry perspective, (b) the cohortgroup, and (c) school-university collaboration. Thearticle describes these three aspects of the ecologyof the field experience and provides the perspe...... hiện toàn bộ
Promoting Mathematical Communication in the Classroom: Two Preservice Teachers' Conceptions and PracticesJournal of Mathematics Teacher Education - Tập 3 - Trang 125-153 - 2000
Jonathan Brendefur, Jeffrey Frykholm
Recent reforms in mathematics education have encouraged teachers to engage their students in various forms of communication. Scholars have begun to consider questions such as: In what ways do teachers facilitate and guide classroom discourse? How does the quality of students' reflections impact the development of rich mathematical understanding? In order to address these and similar questions, the...... hiện toàn bộ
