Problem posing is an indispensable constituent of mathematical thinking, which makes it a requisite ability for students of all grades. Therefore, pre- and in-service teachers should carry out problem posing activities of high quality, and having them pose non-routine problems may be a good way to make this happen. In this context, this study…

It is seen that there are few studies on the role of the knowledgeable other when the literature on Lesson Study [LS] is examined. However, for LS to be better understood and applied in different cultures, the role of the knowledgeable other in LS process should be clarified. This study aimed to determine the role of the researcher as the…

This research examined how pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) plan to support argumentation in their lessons about the hierarchical relationships among the quadrilaterals and what they notice during planning. The participants of this case study were eight pre-service middle-school mathematics teachers. Data consisted of the PMTs'…

This study explored four middle-school mathematics teachers' provision of non-examples and instructional explanations in teaching rational numbers to seventh-grade students. The data sources were 8 lesson hours of observations conducted in four different classrooms. Yin's [(2018). "Case study research and applications: Design and…

Many researchers have studied who and what teachers notice from video and some have focused on the analytic stance of teachers, meaning how noticing occurs. We complement existing work with a focus on analytic stance in a particular mathematics domain, proportional reasoning. We engaged 30 practicing teachers in an online course that included…

The aim of this study is to develop a descriptive framework for teacher educators to assist teachers to plan and realize modelling implementations in their classrooms and for researchers to describe and analyse how modelling is implemented. The planning process and implementations of 12 middle and high school mathematics teachers who conducted…

Teaching is considered a profession in which emotions have a prominent role and it is commonly mentioned in the literature that emotions should be taken into consideration in research related to teacher identity. However, there are limited studies in the accessible literature that investigate beginning teachers' teacher identity development from…

In this study, the conceptualizations used by prospective middle school mathematics teachers when defining, representing, and exemplifying the slope concept and relating it with other mathematical situations were examined. Participants' conceptualizations were identified by Nagle, C., Moore-Russo, D., Viglietti, J., & Martin, K. [(2013).…

This study investigated the sources of difficulties experienced by prospective teachers in mathematical modelling in the context of a semester-long course on mathematical modelling for teachers. The data reported in this study were collected from six prospective teachers through in-depth semi-structured interviews supported by audio and videotaped…

The purposes of this study were to explore how a science teacher and a mathematics teacher collaborated for science and mathematics integration with the support of a researcher, to describe the process of planning and implementing integration and to understand the main issues considered by teachers during the process. Observational case study was…

This study aims to compare teachers' self-efficacy across Turkish and American in-service middle-school mathematics teachers. The samples consist of 379 Turkish and 245 American in-service middle-school mathematics teachers. The self-efficacy questionnaire of the Middle-school Mathematics and the Institutional Setting of Teaching (MIST) scale was…

The purpose of this study was to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers' proportional reasoning before and after receiving a practice-based instruction based on proportional reasoning. The Proportional Reasoning Test, semi-structured interviews and observations of student teachings were used to collect data about the…

This paper aims to examine the extent to which pre-service teachers' mathematical connection skills were promoted through the course designed within the scope of pedagogies of practice (Grossman et al. [2009]. Teaching practice: A cross-professional perspective. Teachers College Record, 111(9), 2055-2100.…

In order to improve instruction, teachers need to make sense of and evaluate the critical events that have the potential to strengthen the understanding of students' mathematical thinking. Mathematics instruction has shifted toward inquiry teaching which leaves many teachers attempting to change their practices accordingly. While there are…

U.S. mathematics teachers face considerable pressures to keep up with pacing guides and to prepare students for standardized tests. At the same time, they are called upon to engage students in innovative exploratory activities and to incorporate new technologies into their lessons. These competing priorities pose considerable challenges. Against…
