This paper reports findings related to the pursuit of describing a lived knowing for teaching mathematics. Specifically, we used an enactivist perspective to describe the knowing exhibited by three experienced high school teachers in their instructional actions while leading whole-class instruction on the topic of the equations of exponential…

In this article we attempt to explain how Spanish schoolteachers built their knowledge around Progressive Education and just how they assimilated these new teaching practices, a process we conceptualise as "appropriating the New". Our source consists of the 287 files presented by state schoolteachers from all of Spain as part of their…

Albeit there are many studies that discuss teacher identity, there are still very limited discussions about kinds of teachers' identity that reflect into the local culture (Gawi manuntung) Urang Banjar (Banjar People). This research is descriptive qualitative research, with in-depth observation and interview methods that focus on the teacher…

Current gaps in achievement among students from diverse backgrounds and their culturally dominant counterparts imply that theoretical ideas, such as culturally responsive teaching (CRT), that focus on increasing the achievement of diverse populations are sound yet difficult to translate into everyday practice. CRT is intricate and complex and…

Mathematical modelling is emphasised in curricula worldwide. Since 2006, mathematical modelling has been considered a fundamental process in the mathematics subject in Norwegian upper secondary schools. This study aimed to identify tensions in the approaches to mathematical modelling expressed in teacher interviews (N = 4) and framework discourses…

The concept of "translanguaging"--using a child's full linguistic repertoire, or all of their linguistic resources, to make meaning--is key to bilingual students' success in school and beyond. Created by some of the most prominent leaders in the field of educating bilingual students, this second edition provides the foundational…

This article reports on the evolution of prospective secondary teachers' knowledge (meanings for dy/dt) and beliefs (about teaching and learning mathematics) in a semester-long inquiry-oriented differential equations class. Students entered the course with limited, primarily procedural, meanings for dy/dt. Throughout the semester, they engaged in…

The purpose of this study was to understand how the facilitator affects the participants' perception of the professional development based on the moves they make to engage educators in the learning experiences. The implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards has resulted in the development of a variety of science professional…

In the field of TESOL, teacher guides are widely used resources providing instructional support and guidance to English language teachers. Drawing upon Vygotskian sociocultural theory, this research explored how novice language teachers perceive the mediational roles of these artifacts in shaping their teaching practices and the affordances and…

This study aimed to explore Ethiopian middle school physics teachers' content knowledge (CK) and their implementation of Dialogic teaching (DT). A qualitative method, case study design, and purposive and convenient sampling employed in the study. Data collected using Classroom observation and Questionnaire from nine physics teachers. The…

Teachers' development can be seen as a dialog between their reflective thinking and their actions, with an added gradient of complexity from their social interactions. All of these elements are conjugated within their classroom practice, with their Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) as theoretical background. This paper analyzes the case of a…

While discourse studies have uncovered regular structural patterns in classroom interactions, these patterns are often the result of interpretive decisions teachers make in performing various pedagogical actions. Notably, however, teachers' instructional decisions often stretch beyond topical boundaries and are thus not limited to the current…

This study aims to examine mathematics teachers' interpretations of students' thinking within the scope of teaching experiments as a professional development activity. The method used in this study is a teaching experiment. The participants are 3 elementary school mathematics teachers. The teaching experiment consists of 5 teaching episodes and…

Two broad categories of instructional practices, (a) explicitly attending to concepts and (b) fostering students' opportunities to struggle, have been consistently linked to improving students' mathematical learning and achievement. In this article, we describe an effort to build these practices into a framework that is useful for a diverse set of…

This study investigates how pre-service teachers (PSTs) negotiate an understanding of which multilingual practices are legitimate in mainstream education in Norway. Data were collected through seven focus groups with 24 PSTs participating in their first field placement. I designed three fictive vignettes about multilingual students in mainstream…
