Reform of mathematics education has been in focus in many countries including
those in major economic transition. This paper reports a segment of a study
which was conducted in Bhutan, where a reformed elementary mathematics
curriculum has been recently introduced. The reformed curriculum is based on
social constructivism and its design has been influenced by the USA’s National
Council of Teachers... hiện toàn bộ
A Framework for Assessing Reading Comprehension of Geometric Construction TextsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 109-124 - 2016
Kai-Lin Yang, Jian-Lin Li
This study investigates one issue related to reading mathematical texts by
presenting a two-dimensional framework for assessing reading comprehension of
geometric construction texts. The two dimensions of the framework were
formulated by modifying categories of reading literacy and drawing on key
elements of geometric construction texts. Three categories of reading
mathematical texts were recogniz... hiện toàn bộ
Exploring the Use of Lesson Study to Develop Elementary Preservice Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Teaching Nature of ScienceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 293-312 - 2015
Valarie L. Akerson, Khemmawadee Pongsanon, Meredith A. Park Rogers, Ingrid Carter, Enrique Galindo
This study explored a modified version of Japanese Lesson Study to determine
whether and how it influenced preservice elementary teachers in their abilities
to deliver science lessons that included nature of science (NOS) to their own
students. We used a case study approach that focused on one subset of a cohort
of preservice elementary teachers within their field placement settings. Data

Using Community Artifacts to Support Novice Math Teacher Educators in Teaching Prospective TeachersSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 59-75 - 2021
Superfine, Alison Castro, Pitvorec, Kathleen
Despite the centrality of math teacher educators (MTEs) in teacher education, we
know little about the nature of professional learning opportunities for MTEs to
develop and enhance the knowledge needed to teach prospective teachers. Existing
models for supporting MTEs in developing their knowledge and practice do not
address how to prepare novice MTEs in initially learning to teach prospective
tea... hiện toàn bộ
EVALUATING SELECTED PERCEPTIONS OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN AN ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION PROGRAMSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 551-569 - 2010

In 2003 the University of Missouri (with the aid of US National Science
Foundation funding) initiated an alternative certification program (ACP) to
address the well-documented need in the US for increasing the quantity and
quality of mathematics and science teachers for the middle and secondary levels.
Nationwide current certification programs do not provide the quality and
quantity of mathematics... hiện toàn bộ
Implementing Confidence Assessment in Low-Stakes, Formative Mathematics AssessmentsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 1411-1429 - 2021
Colin Foster
Confidence assessment (CA) involves students stating alongside each of their
answers a confidence rating (e.g. 0 low to 10 high) to express how certain they
are that their answer is correct. Each student’s score is calculated as the sum
of the confidence ratings on the items that they answered correctly, minus the
sum of the confidence ratings on the items that they answered incorrectly; this
scor... hiện toàn bộ
Investigating Teacher Perceptions of Integrating Engineering into Science Education in Mainland ChinaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1397-1420 - 2020
Xiaohong Zhan, Daner Sun, Zhi Hong Wan, Yingli Hua, Ranran Xu
In many countries, integrating engineering into science education is regarded as
the best means of improving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM) education. In Mainland China, some efforts have been made to integrate
engineering into science, but problems regarding teacher factors hinder its
effective implementation. To address these problems, we conducted a survey
together wit... hiện toàn bộ
