Teachers, throughout their professional career, develop ways of teaching mathematics —articulated by the organization and type of activities that guide their class, the resources they use and their forms of intervention; these are modified when a new resource is integrated. In this paper we present evidence of this phenomenon using the case study of a teacher who, as a result of her participation in a professional development course that we implemented, integrated digital resources into her documentation work, destabilizing her previous forms of teaching.","PeriodicalId":68089,"journal":{"name":"数学教学通讯","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73237320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"From highly receptive to highly skeptical: Engaging all teachers through responsive PD facilitation","authors":"Christine Taylor, Jean S. Lee","doi":"10.51272/PMENA.42.2020-332","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51272/PMENA.42.2020-332","url":null,"abstract":"Professional developments (PD) play a central role in efforts to improve teachers’ mathematical content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and beliefs about what it means to ‘do mathematics’ (Ball, 1990; Hill, 2007). Creating Algebra Teaching Communities for Hoosiers was the result of a Math-Science Partnership grant from Indiana’s Department of Education in 2015. The study involved 15 middle and high school urban teachers, with a focus on enriching teachers’ knowledge and skills for teaching algebra. This study examines: How do teacher portraits help facilitate the activities in the PD experience? This study focuses on exploring how PD facilitators used facilitation techniques to support participants based on character portraits (Sztajn, Borko, & Smith (2017), and contributes to an area of research needed on skillful facilitation techniques (e.g., Bobis, 2011; van es, 2014) to prepare and support PD facilitators. Findings culminated in five teacher portraits. Highly Skeptical Teacher (HST) is an experienced teacher but is uncomfortable being observed by colleagues. HST doubts students can be successful with the PD tasks. Others followed the skepticism because of HST’s experience in the classroom. Facilitators probed questions to interrupt preconceived perceptions of students. Cautiously Receptive Teacher (CRT) is eager to apply the theories into practice but struggles to bring ideas into reality in the classroom. CRT is hesitant to try new things, but gradually over time buys into the vision of the PD. Trying out activities with students was the best technique to convince CRT of novel teaching practices. Highly Receptive Teacher (HRT) is highly reflective and collaborative. HRT sees the potential of all students to be mathematical learners and makes connections between teaching, the PD, and everyday life experiences. PD facilitators would ask HRT to point out students’ mathematical thinking. BoxChecker Teacher (BCT) is extremely organized, thrives on explicit directions and timeline, and most comfortable with direct instruction. BCT’s intense focus on clear tasks and schedules, and high anxiety made the group dynamics tense. PD facilitators solicited input from BCT on the clarity of expectations. Lopsided Engager Teacher (LET) has great relationships with all students, even the most disruptive, and is deeply troubled when other teachers do not believe that all students can learn mathematics. LET displays turns of both low engagement and intense engagement. PD facilitators stoked this passion to engage in rich discussions, and showed empathy to situations where relationships take priority over learning. This study begins a conversation about mathematics teaching facilitation and how best to support and facilitate with a wide range of participants.","PeriodicalId":68089,"journal":{"name":"数学教学通讯","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76958597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Challenges in improving and measuring mathematics discussion leading practice","authors":"Meghan Shaughnessy, Nicole Garcia, Jillian Peterson, Kristen D’Anna Pynes","doi":"10.51272/PMENA.42.2020-330","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51272/PMENA.42.2020-330","url":null,"abstract":"This study is an effort to address the challenge of supporting the enhancement of teaching practice. Our model situates professional development (PD) in mathematics instruction occurring in a summer program for fifth grade students. This PD model has two parts. First, participants engage in “legitimate peripheral participation” (Lave & Wenger, 1991) in teaching in this fifth grade classroom through structured conversations about the lesson plans, close observation of teaching, and analysis of student tasks. Second, participants engage in focused learning on leading mathematics discussions through simulations and rehearsals. Two groups of teachers participated, one onsite with a facilitator, and the second at a remote site with an in-person facilitator who delivered the leading mathematics discussion professional development. We study the impact of our PD model. Specifically, we ask: Does teachers’ participation impact their own teaching practice, and if so, in what ways? Twenty-one teachers participated across the two groups. We collected and analyzed a set of preand post-videos of classroom discussions. Participants were asked to record three mathematics discussions two months before the PD occurred and three such lessons two months after participation. A tool that captured techniques named in our decomposition of discussion (Selling et al., 2015), including advanced techniques utilized by experienced teachers, was applied to all videos by two research team members. Prior to the intervention, the means of technique usage of the remote participants were higher than those of the onsite group on almost every dimension (p < .05). Thus, we share the findings for the two groups separately. The onsite group (lower pre-intervention mean) did not appear to be leading discussions before the intervention. They showed slight increases in both orienting students to the thinking of others and concluding discussions. Since the intervention was focused on orienting students, likely an unfamiliar area of work, we hypothesize that this was the focus of their practice post-intervention. Conversely, the remote group (higher pre-intervention mean), who appeared to be leading discussions before the intervention, decreased on several categories and showed near significant growth on connecting and extending student thinking. One possible explanation for these decreases is the timing of the post-data collection at the beginning of the year when they may have been explicitly teaching their students how to engage in discussion, leading to fewer instances of particular discussion-leading moves. The increase in connecting and extending may have been due to readiness to take on this difficult work.","PeriodicalId":68089,"journal":{"name":"数学教学通讯","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80369237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
