With the aim of strengthening mathematics teaching | learning, classroom video is increasingly used as a tool for teachers to reflect on their practice. In the first phase of a two-phase design-based study, a group of primary teachers selected, viewed and discussed video excerpts from mathematics lessons. Engaging with and working to reconcile…

Drawing on data collected from one coaching cycle during mathematics instruction for one coach-teacher dyad, this study explores one instructional coach's discursive enactment of their coaching stance. Qualitative analyses indicate that there was dissonance between the coach's stance for coaching and their discursive enactment of coaching, and…

Leading mathematics teaching and learning in schools is a complex job that requires the development of specialised knowledge and skills. Opportunities to learn in professional workshops can help to build leadership knowledge and skills. The results presented here describe 262 leaders' prompted reflections at the end of a professional development…

As teachers begin to construct an understanding of 'inquiry', and incorporate IBL into their classroom practice, they are challenged to be sensitive to the 'constructivist' nature of the CLD. This paper presents a reflection model structured to trigger thinking about beliefs in teaching and learning in order for teachers to re-examine their…

This paper explores factors that contribute to increased self-efficacy in preservice teachers as they practise teaching mathematics in a primary classroom. Thirteen preservice teachers completing a Master of Primary Teaching contributed to the research, four of whom became the focus of intense examination during two professional practices…

Gaining insight into how one's noticing shapes decision making can enable a teacher to reflect on how they frame, interpret, and respond to classroom activity and disrupt the influence of dominant ideologies. Working in the context of teacher education, we conjectured that systematically analyzing and reflecting on their own noticing can enable…

Research suggests that preservice teachers enter teacher education with predominantly negative dispositions towards mathematics. We present a case study of an approach to supporting the development of positive mathematics teaching identities among students in a middle-level math methods course. Our findings suggest that engaging in narrative…

Examining critical incidents in the mathematics classroom is a useful way for pre-service teachers to understand the experience of teaching. This paper examines the development and trialling of variations of a novel affect-based critical moment protocol that enables preservice mathematics teachers to reflect on their teaching performance. The…

This paper examines the use of two theoretical models to analyse the complex process of changing teaching practice. The models were considered complementary in forming a theoretical framework. Analysis of one teacher's change, from the second cycle of a designbased research project for an onsite collaborative professional learning program,…

How might mathematics educators recognize discourses as resonating harmonies in their practices as researchers? In this paper we share individual experiential narratives guided by Ojibway author Richard Wagamese's Medicine Wheel teachings in the four directions of East (humility), South (trust), West (introspection), and North (wisdom). As we…

In this paper, we re-examine the commonly-held notion that typical problems, such as textbook exercises and examination questions, are not useful for orchestrating mathematically-rich learning experiences. Drawing from a larger design-based research project, we present a case study of Alice, a secondary school teacher, who orchestrated a…

In this paper we discuss our development and use of a conjecture map for a large research project on the design and implementation of an online professional development model. Following Sandoval's (2014) model, we built the conjecture map to reflect our high-level conjectures (overarching goals of the project), the embodiment of the learning…

Reflective practice in mathematical teaching improves teaching skills and confidence. This paper investigates affect-based critical moments as a reflective practice for pre-service teaching. An embedded case study is presented by one regional university as a discovery into the "reflective" phase of the Enhancement-Learning-Reflection…

A central premise of this project is that teachers learn from the act of teaching a lesson and that this learning is evident in the planning and teaching of a subsequent lesson. In this project, the knowledge construction of mathematics teachers was examined utilising multi-camera research techniques during lesson planning, classroom interactions…

We proposed to study self-regulated learning (SRL) of 11th grade students in a PBL classroom (n = 36). The data were collected in November 2016 using Students' Self-Regulation Strategy Inventory (Students' SRSI), Teachers' Self-Regulation Strategy Inventory (Teachers' SRSI), students' interviews forms, students' reflections, and the teachers'…
