We examined what and how experienced (mentor coaches) and novice coaches (coach participants) noticed as they analyzed a vignette of a coaching interaction between a coach and a teacher. We modified the van Es (2011) Learning to Notice Framework for a coaching context to analyze What and How coaches notice. We collected data from ten mentor…

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…

Teaching can often seem like an independent endeavor, and seeking out ways to engage in dialogue and exchanges surrounding teaching can be beneficial. Opportunities to observe peers' teaching and discuss teaching practices, challenges, and experiences with peers can lead to an increased sense of community, a fruitful exchange of ideas, and…

There is emerging evidence that professional noticing is embodied. Yet, there is still a need to better under embodied noticing at a fundamental level, especially from the preservice teachers. This study used traditional and holographic video, along with eye-tracking technology, to examine how preservice teachers' physical act of looking interacts…

Teaching observation protocols serve purposes beyond research, such as providing formative feedback for teachers' growth in their practice. Such observation tool usage requires different approaches for validation. For this reason, we developed the formative teaching evaluation framework adapted from the student-assessment literature. We used this…

The aim of the study is to examine informational children's picture books prepared for preschool children in terms of scientific process skills. The study was conducted using the document review method, one of the qualitative research methods, and descriptive analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. Within the scope of the research,…

Studying for entrance examinations can be a distressing period for numerous students. Consequently, many students decide to attend cram schools to assist them in preparing for these exams. For such schools and for all educational institutes, it is necessary to obtain the best tools to provide the highest quality of learning and guidance.…

This paper presents Big Ideas of Measurement as a framework of students' thinking about measurement. Drawing from research-based evidence, the framework is a collection of key concepts that students must develop for a robust understanding of measurement and, as such, are key aspects of students' thinking teachers should learn to notice. In a case…

In the context of a professional learning research project we investigated the nature of support offered to classroom teachers and school mathematics leaders to facilitate teachers' implementation of sequences of challenging tasks. End of year questionnaire data were collected from 70 Foundation to Year 2 teachers and ten numeracy leaders who…

The study aimed to determine the noticing skills of mathematics teachers to their students' misconceptions in written responses. The study adopted case study design, one of the qualitative research methods. The participants of the study comprised 20 volunteer middle school mathematics teachers from 9 different cities and 16 different schools that…

Preservice teachers (PSTs) often demonstrate difficulty learning to attend to content-specific student actions in-the-moment. However, machine learning algorithms applied to PSTs' viewing of 360 videos provides a potentially useful tool for teacher educators. In this paper, we describe the initial development of such a tool and the implications…

This case study compared preservice primary school teachers' and primary school teachers' experiences with multi-grade teaching in the 2018--2019 academic year. The sample consisted of 17 fourth-year students in the department of primary school teaching education of a public university and 14 multigrade teachers from 12 schools in Turkey. The…

We articulate a framework for delineating student thinking in active, STEM-rich learning environments. Researchers have identified ways of reasoning that relate to specific content areas and practices within each of the STEM disciplines. However, attempts at characterizing student thinking in transdisciplinary STEM environments remains in its…

This study examined how mathematics coaches leverage written annotations to support professional discourse with teachers about important classroom events during synchronous debriefing conversations. Coaches and teachers created the annotations while asynchronously watching video of an implemented lesson as part of online video-assisted coaching…

We share results of a study on the analytic stances of coaches' and teachers' as they annotated key moments from classroom video of the teacher's lessons. In the analysis, emphasis was on the analytic stances of the coaches and how their annotations related to trends in teachers' annotations. Findings indicate differences in how coaches and…
