Erin Barno – ProQuest LLC, 2025
This dissertation investigates how early career teachers' orientations of students and their mathematical activity, as surfaced their experience in a simulation, can reveal when their well-intentioned decisions might negatively impact traditionally underserved students. Three early career teachers engaged in two online simulations where they could…

Sfard, Anna – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2023
Once teaching-learning events are conceptualized as inter-discursive encounters, it becomes clear that mathematics classroom talk is rife with invisible pitfalls. There are many types of unacknowledged discursive gaps, some of them necessary for learning and some potentially harmful. Such gaps may exist also between the teacher's intentions and…

Erickson, Ander; Herbst, Patricio; Ko, Inah; Dimmel, Justin – Research in Mathematics Education, 2021
This study analyses an online scenario-based instrument in which secondary mathematics teachers from across the United States were presented with episodes of mathematics instruction and then asked to make a decision at a critical juncture. The theory of practical rationality suggests that the decisions of mathematics teachers can be understood as…

An, Tuyin; Clark, Daniel L.; Lee, Hwa Young; Miller, Emily K.; Weiland, Travis – The Mathematics Educator, 2021
Prospective elementary teacher (PSET) education programs vary greatly in the courses and course sequences employed to prepare their students. This article explores potential tradeoffs that arise for mathematics teacher educators, PSETs, and their future students due to the choices PSET education programs make regarding their design. Specifically,…

Milewski, Amanda; Strickland, Sharon; Buchbinder, Orly; Herbst, Patricio; Chazan, Daniel – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
A historical review of mathematics textbooks suggests a canonical method to solving equations that teachers often see as "the" way to solve equations. In this paper, we examine data from a nationally-distributed sample of 524 secondary mathematics teachers who responded to scenario-based survey items that represent the instructional…

Bleiler-Baxter, Sarah K.; Stephens, D. Christopher; Baxter, Wesley A.; Barlow, Angela T. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2017
The goal in this article is to support teachers in better understanding what it means to model with mathematics by focusing on three key decision-making processes: Simplification, Relationship Mapping, and Situation Analysis. The authors use the Theme Park task to help teachers develop a vision of how students engage in these three decision-making…

Kai, Shimin; Almeda, Ma. Victoria; Baker, Ryan S.; Heffernan, Cristina; Heffernan, Neil – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2018
Research on non-cognitive factors has shown that persistence in the face of challenges plays an important role in learning. However, recent work on wheel-spinning, a type of unproductive persistence where students spend too much time struggling without achieving mastery of skills, show that not all persistence is uniformly beneficial for learning.…

Turkan, Sultan; de Jong, Ester J. – Teacher Education Quarterly, 2018
Research indicates that many English learners (ELs) have not been effectively supported in meeting their academic learning goals. This explains, in part, the growing interest and corresponding research on the essential teacher knowledge-base for teaching ELs. Despite the attention paid to this issue, research on preservice teachers' reasoning and…

Billings, Esther M. H.; Kasmer, Lisa – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2015
This study used design experiments, specifically micro-cycle teaching experiments (MTE) as a catalyst for practice-based professional development. The MTE incorporated research-based characteristics of effective professional development: it was embedded in the teachers' daily work of planning and enacting lessons, co-constructed with the…

Zeybek, Zulfiye; Galindo, Enrique – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
How might pre-service elementary teachers' misconceptions of proof and counterexamples influence their teaching of proof? To investigate this question, two types of interviews--task-based and scenario-based--were designed to elicit pre-service elementary teachers' (PSTs) conceptions of proof and counterexamples and how those conceptions might…

Teaching an Application of Bayes' Rule for Legal Decision-Making: Measuring the Strength of Evidence
Satake, Eiki; Murray, Amy Vashlishan – Journal of Statistics Education, 2014
Although Bayesian methodology has become a powerful approach for describing uncertainty, it has largely been avoided in undergraduate statistics education. Here we demonstrate that one can present Bayes' Rule in the classroom through a hypothetical, yet realistic, legal scenario designed to spur the interests of students in introductory- and…
