Mathematical Discourse for Teaching: A Discursive Framework for Analyzing Professional Development
Cooper, Jason
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Joint Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) (38th) and the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA) (36th, Vancouver, Canada, Jul 15-20, 2014)
The framework of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) is brought under the discursive framework of Commognition in order to track learning in professional development (PD). I follow MKT in differentiating between subject matter discourse and pedagogical discourse. The framework, which I call Mathematical Discourse for Teaching (MDT) permits a combined view on mathematical and meta-mathematical issues as constituted in discourse. Such meta-issues are found to be a significant part of what is taught and learned in a particular PD, where mathematics Ph.D. students teach elementary school teachers. Through the analysis of a lesson on parity I show how "knowing" has different meanings in mathematical and pedagogical discourses, and find evidence of learning in the evolving ways in which the parties use this term.
