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
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
Classroom observation and mathematics education researchJournal of Mathematics Teacher Education - Tập 24 - Trang 5-31 - 2019
Jonathan Bostic, Kristin Lesseig, Milan Sherman, Melissa Boston
Classroom observations have become an integral part of research related to mathematics education. In this qualitative study, we describe the current state of the mathematics education field with regard to the use of classroom observation. The research question was: How is classroom observation being used to measure instructional quality in mathematics education research? In all, 114 peer-reviewed ...... hiện toàn bộ
The impact of conflicting goals on mathematical teaching decisionsJournal of Mathematics Teacher Education - Tập 17 - Trang 227-243 - 2013
Mike Thomas, Caroline Yoon
This paper describes part of an international project considering graphical construction of antiderivative functions in the secondary mathematics classroom. We use Schoenfeld’s resources, orientations, and goals (ROGs) framework to analyse the decisions made by a teacher, Adam, during a lesson on graphical antiderivatives. We present details of Adam’s ROG and see how this is related to resolution ...... hiện toàn bộ
