In this article, we address the collaborative relationships among university teachers participating in a lesson study. Specifically, we examine teachers' changes in response to conflicts that arise during this professional development process. Data were collected through audio and video recordings and interviews during a lesson study conducted…

We investigate how an inquiry-oriented, dynamic, open-source calculus textbook shaped one college instructor's planning. We rely on Dietiker et al.'s [(2018). Research commentary: Curricular noticing: A framework to describe teachers' interactions with curriculum materials. "Journal for Research in Mathematics Education," 49(5), 521-532.…

Online learning affects students' curiosity, so it is important to develop students' curiosity during the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze students' curiosity about online learning. This study was conducted in the Department of Mathematics Education during the odd semester 2021/2022 with 106 students in three…

This conceptual paper explores the pedagogical tension and potential synergy between teacher-centred and student-centred instructional approaches, particularly within the context of teaching abstract concepts in science and mathematics such as quantum mechanics and calculus. Grounded in the theoretical frameworks of essentialism and…

The article analyzes professional collaboration in a lesson study involving university mathematics professors, with the objective of contributing to professional development. The research was guided by the question, What principles promoted professional collaboration among university mathematics professors participating in a lesson study? The…

Helping students reach a clear understanding of the cause-and-effect relationship between changes in parameter and the graph of an equation is the focus of the activity outlined in this article. The behavior of phase shifts has been regarded as counterintuitive for many people, and often, because of this, conflict between student intuition and…

This study examines the perceptions of first-year, mathematics graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) participating in a six-week summer course designed to deepen their knowledge of collegiate mathematics teaching practices before being assigned to instruct undergraduate students in the subsequent fall semester. Through hybrid deductive-inductive…

A case study of calculus instructional material (comprising of lecture notes and tutorial practice worksheets) designed by teachers from a Singapore pre-university is presented in this paper. As textbooks have not been available for mathematics at the pre-university levels, the instructional material was a product of the teachers' collaborative…

We investigate aspects of reform enacted in 66 class observations from 18 institutions collected as part of the National Study of University Calculus in the US. We examined four aspects related to how problems were solved in class: the extent of student involvement, the representations and technology used, and specific features of the problems…
