Perspectives on Instructor Modeling in Mathematics Teacher Education
Brown, Cassondra; Nickerson, Susan
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)
We unpack the notion of mathematics teacher educators modeling teaching in mathematics teacher education courses. Specifically, we investigated what practicing teachers gained from mathematics teacher educators' modeling by examining: (1) What do mathematics teacher educators believe they model about effective instructional practice? (2) What do practicing teachers notice about the mathematics teacher educator's pedagogy and identify as effective mathematics teaching? (3) In what ways do these perspectives align in mathematics courses for practicing teachers? The results provide insight into what and how teachers learn from engaging in inquiry-oriented teaching. We discuss the implications for the education of mathematics teachers. [For the complete proceedings, see ED585874.]
