Diagnostic Competences of Mathematics Teachers -- Processes and Resources
Philipp, Kathleen; Leuders, Timo
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Joint Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) (38th) and the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA) (36th, Vancouver, Canada, Jul 15-20, 2014)
Reviewing the research on teachers' diagnostic competences shows that most findings focus on the correspondence between teachers' diagnostic judgments and students' actual achievement, while cognitive processes and cognitive resources of teachers in diagnostic situations have been examined much less. We intend to extend this state of research from a domain-specific point of view by empirically identifying and theoretically describing processes and resources of mathematics teachers while judging tasks and students' solutions. In an interview study with expert teachers and mathematics educators (n=6) it was possible to deduce typical steps in a diagnostic process to identify resources (i.e. aspects of teacher knowledge) they relied on.
