Recent research in problem solving has shifted its focus to actual classroom implementation and what is really going on during problem solving when it is used regularly in classroom. This book seeks to stay on top of that trend by approaching diverse aspects of current problem solving research, covering three broad themes. Firstly, it explores the role of teachers in problem-solving classrooms and their professional development, moving onto—secondly—the role of students when solving problems, with particular consideration of factors like group work, discussion, role of students in discussions and the effect of students’ engagement on their self-perception and their view of mathematics....
This second edition of the International Handbook of Mathematics Teacher Education builds on and extends the topics/ideas in the first edition while maintaining the themes for each of the volumes. Collectively, the authors look back beyond and within the last 10 years to establish the state-of-the-art and continuing and new trends in mathematics teacher and mathematics teacher educator education, and look forward regarding possible avenues for teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and policy makers to consider to enhance and/or further investigate mathematics teacher and teacher educator learning and practice, in particular. The volume editors provide introductions to each volume that hi...
Tasks in Primary Mathematics Teacher Education is intended to advance relevant research and innovative international practices in the preparation and professional development of mathematics teachers. Emerging from discussion at the ICMI study on teacher professional development, this volume, focused on primary and elementary teachers, culls a richness that can only be found by gathering wisdom from varied experiences around the world. The choice of tasks, and the associated pedagogies, is a key aspect of teaching and learning mathematics. Arguing that what students learn is largely defined by the tasks they are given, several major themes are presented. One such major strand, the form, function and focus of tasks, is discussed throughout several chapters, offering analysis, discussion of implementation, and exemplars of a broader category of illustrative techniques for developing critical understanding.
While already validated by the scientific community, multimodal narratives have the potential for a broader application, especially for improved teaching practices from a professional or a theoretical point of view. Applying multimodal narratives within professional development courses creates a focus on the teaching practices rather than the content itself. Multimodal Narratives in Research and Teaching Practices provides educator and researcher perspectives on the use of multimodal narratives as a tool to reflect and improve teaching practices. Covering such topics as professional development, online learning, and teacher education, this publication is designed for educators, academicians, administrators, and researchers.
Mathematics teaching and professional development of mathematics teachers are areas where research has increased substantially in recent years. In this dynamic field, mathematics teaching practices, pedagogical knowledge of mathematics teachers and professional development via collaboration between mathematics teachers have emerged as vital domains of inquiry. Professional Development and Knowledge of Mathematics Teachers addresses the underlying characteristics of mathematics teacher education, and those professional development contexts that have a positive impact on teachers’ professional learning. Recognizing the impact of broader institutional settings on mathematics teaching and teac...
The International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) is the largest international conference on mathematics education in the world. This quadrennial event is organized under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). This book, the Proceedings of ICME-14, presents the latest trends in mathematics education research and mathematics teaching practices at all levels. Each chapter covers an extensive range of topics in mathematics education.Volume I consists of 4 Plenary Lectures, 3 Plenary Panels, 5 Lectures of Awardees, 4 Survey Teams, 62 Topic Study Groups, 13 Discussion Groups, 20 Workshops, a Thematic Afternoon, and an Early Career Researcher Day...
Este libro presenta una panorámica de investigaciones con el foco en el profesor de matemáticas, desde distintas perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas, e incluyendo desde la formación de profesores a la práctica de aula, considerando al profesor como aprendiz y como profesional reflexivo. Está organizado en cuatro secciones que se centran respectivamente en: el análisis de la práctica docente, el conocimiento del profesor, el aprendizaje del profesor y el desarrollo de competencias, y el desarrollo profesional y el dominio afectivo. Las secciones integran capítulos que narran diferentes aproximaciones a la investigación sobre la problemática foco de la sección con capítulos que...
Este libro se dirige a futuros maestros de Educación Primaria, que se aproximan a las matemáticas en términos de su enseñanza y aprendizaje; a maestros en activo, que tendrán un apoyo a la planificación y análisis de sus clases; y a formadores de maestros, que dispondrán de una guía para el diseño y la reflexión sobre el contenido de la formación inicial. Se abordan contenidos matemáticos, sus conexiones y su enseñanza y aprendizaje, teniendo en cuenta los propios objetos matemáticos, lo que incluye estrategias, recursos didácticos y características del aprendizaje de dichos objetos. Para ofrecer al lector un bagaje de estrategias y modos de hacer y producir en matemáticas, se dedican dos capítulos transversales a la resolución de problemas y a los procesos argumentativos. El último capítulo del libro versa sobre perspectivas de análisis de las prácticas de enseñanza, medio en el que finalmente deben confluir y ponerse en práctica los conocimientos construidos.
