Nadav Marco; Alik Palatnik – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This study proposes a model of several dimensions through which products of teachers' context-based mathematics problem posing (PP) can be modified. The dimensions are Correctness, Authenticity, Task Assortment (consisting of Mathematical Diversity, Multiple Data Representations, Question-Answer Format, Precision-Approximation, and…

Andreas de Barros; Junita Henry; Jacqueline W. Mathenge – Comparative Education Review, 2024
There is limited evidence on what drives teachers to change their teaching practices. Using primary qualitative data from 78 Zambian education personnel from the school to the provincial level, we combine qualitative thematic analysis with an unsupervised machine-learning technique (topic modeling) to identify drivers of pedagogical shifts. We…

Ayse Tekin Dede; Esra Bukova Güzel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
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…

Bailey, Judy – New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, 2022
While there has been much research focused on beginning teachers; and mathematical problem solving in the classroom, little is known about beginning primary teachers' learning to teach mathematics through problem solving. This longitudinal study examined what supported beginning teachers to start and sustain teaching mathematics through problem…

White, D.; Anderson, M. – PRIMUS, 2021
The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of a problem involving superfactorials (a specific product of factorials) that provides an in-depth and comprehensive mathematical experience, encompassing skills that mathematicians view as tantamount to exploration. The problem is easily accessible and fosters creativity and perseverance, thereby…

Wati, Indra – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
Worldwide interest in Lesson Study (LS) and the opportunities offered for student learning through the use of a Structured Problem-Solving Approach (SPSA), as typically adopted in Japanese LS research lessons in mathematics, have left largely unanswered questions about the extent to which these can be replicated elsewhere. This paper presents a…

Maboya, Mantlhake J.; Jita, Loyiso C.; Chimbi, Godsend T. – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
Teachers cannot escape being learners if they are to be proficient practitioners. This study interrogates the effects of a professional development programme on mathematics teachers' pedagogical practices in South African primary schools. Using critical theory as the illuminating lens, this qualitative study, which is cast within the participatory…

Elementary Teachers' Experience of Engaging with Teaching through Problem Solving Using Lesson Study
Hourigan, Mairéad; Leavy, Aisling M. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
For many decades, problem solving has been a focus of elementary mathematics education reforms. Despite this, in many education systems, the prevalent approach to mathematics problem solving treats it as an isolated activity instead of an integral part of teaching and learning. In this study, two mathematics teacher educators introduced 19 Irish…

Nicole Rigelman – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Even before the release of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)'s Principles to Actions (2014), teachers paid significant attention to mathematics tasks based on their positive influence on student learning (Doyle, 1988; Kazemi, 1998; NCTM, 1989, 2000). Over the last almost quarter century, we have learned a lot about high-level…

Robert C. Schoen; Wendy S. Bray; Amanda M. Tazaz; Charity K. Buntin – Grantee Submission, 2022
Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) is a teacher PD program that has been found to have a potentially positive impact on student learning in mathematics through randomized controlled trials. Through a series of grant-funded projects led by FSU, approximately 2,000 Florida teachers have participated in CGI-based professional development in the…

Patricia Brady – ProQuest LLC, 2024
In this portfolio, I reflect on my efforts to provide professional development targeted to support teachers during the launch phase of their mathematics teaching, to elicit and respond to student ideas and experiences. I grounded my study in research on ambitious teaching practices for launching complex mathematical tasks using problem-based…

Hosseinali Gholami – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
The purpose of this mixed-method study is to investigate and compare students' problem-solving and higher order thinking skills. This study involves two contexts: a traditional teaching program and a Lesson Study program. In qualitative phase, seven mathematics lecturers, a physics lecturer and the researcher forms the Lesson Study group and they…

Sinead Meehan; Amanda Reinsburrow; Mikhail Miller; Nicholas Coffman – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Fostering a culture of professionalism is the work of all stakeholders in a school and can be influenced by participating in self-selected professional development. Professionalism is a trait among teachers that has garnered significant attention within mathematics education. Central to the principle of professionalism is the recognition that…

Kónya, Eszter; Kovács, Zoltán – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2022
We report on the results of a professional development programme involving four Hungarian teachers of mathematics. The programme aims to support teachers in integrating problem solving into their classes. The basic principle of the programme, as well as its novelty (at least compared to Hungarian practice), is that the development takes place in…
