Brown, Rachael Eriksen; Nagar, Gili Gal; Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Weiland, Travis; Burke, James – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
In this exploratory study we considered how one teacher's understanding of proportional reasoning related to his teaching. We used Epistemic Network Analysis to consider the teachers' knowledge organization and connections between knowledge resources as a way to make sense of his understanding. Then, we examined how his understanding was reflected…

Witterholt, Martha; Goedhart, Martin; Suhre, Cor – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2016
Due to changes in Dutch mathematics education, teachers are expected to use new teaching methods such as enquiry-based teaching. In this study, we investigate how teachers design, implement and evaluate new methods for statistics teaching for 7th-graders during a professional development trajectory based on peer collaboration. We monitored…

Raad, Nawal Abou; Chatila, Hanadi – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2016
This paper investigates Lebanese grade 7 biology teachers' mathematical knowledge and skills, by exploring how they explain a visual representation in an activity depending on the mathematical concept "Function". Twenty Lebanese in-service biology teachers participated in the study, and were interviewed about their explanation for the…

Izsak, Andrew; Jacobson, Erik; de Araujo, Zandra; Orrill, Chandra Hawley – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2012
Researchers have recently used traditional item response theory (IRT) models to measure mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). Some studies (e.g., Hill, 2007; Izsak, Orrill, Cohen, & Brown, 2010), however, have reported subgroups when measuring middle-grades teachers' MKT, and such groups violate a key assumption of IRT models. This study…

Stevens, Tara; Aguirre-Munoz, Zenaida; Harris, Gary; Higgins, Raegan; Liu, Xun – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2013
Profile analyses were used to investigate differences in the self-efficacy
growth of teachers with more and less mathematics background as the teachers participated in professional development across two summers. Professional development activities were associated with increases in teachers' self-efficacy; however, without considering mathematics…

Myhill, Debra A.; Jones, Susan M.; Lines, Helen; Watson, Annabel – Research Papers in Education, 2012
This paper reports on a national study, involving a mixed-method research design comprising a randomised controlled trial (RCT), text analysis, student and teacher interviews and lesson observations. It set out to investigate whether contextualised teaching of grammar, linked to the teaching of writing, would improve student outcomes in writing…

Isiksal, Mine; Cakiroglu, Erdinc – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2011
The purpose of this study was to investigate prospective mathematics teachers' knowledge of common conceptions and misconceptions that sixth and seventh grade students had about multiplication of fractions. In addition, prospective teachers' knowledge of the sources of these misconceptions and strategies they knew to overcome these misconceptions…

Paddack, Megan – ProQuest LLC, 2009
The purpose of this study was to investigate and describe how middle school mathematics teachers "make meaning" of proofs and the process of proving in the context of their classroom practices. A framework of "making meaning," created by the researcher, guided the data collection and analysis phases of the study. This framework…
