Reframing Failure: An Analysis of High School Mathematics Teachers' Learning
Bannister, Nicole A.
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (33rd, Reno, NV, Oct 20-23, 2011)
This paper examines how teachers engaged in equity-oriented reforms learn through interactions in teacher groups. Analysis of teachers' framing of a freshman mathematics student failure problem showed that over time teachers' frames shifted from invariable framings based on student characteristics and systemic issues to actionable framings based on classroom systems contributing to student failure, thereby promoting teachers' concentration on courses of action linked to instruction. By joining the frame analysis and community of practice literatures, this study contributes an empirical example of development within teacher community alongside analytic tools for documenting teachers' learning within these groups.
