Survival of the Fit: A Bourdieuian and Graph Theory Network Analogy for Mathematics Teacher Education
Nolan, Kathleen
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)
Supervision of student teachers in their field experience is one of the practices that characterizes the work of many teacher educators. This paper takes up the issue of teacher education field experience and associated faculty supervision, drawing on the conceptual tools of Bourdieu's social field theory and a graph theory network analogy to interpret data from a self-study research project. In this brief paper, one data storyline is presented to convey narratives of a teacher educator's efforts to disrupt and reconceptualize the network of relations in teacher education field experience.
