Beliefs about the Active, Bodily Experience Mathematics Learning Activities: An Explorative Teacher Survey in Australia
Alessandra Boscolo
Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (46th, Gold Coast, Australia, Jun 30-Jul 4, 2024)
The exploratory study combined an online survey and interviews with Australian primary and secondary mathematics teachers to examine their views on "Active, Bodily experience Mathematics learning activities." The research sought to identify teachers' expectations, challenges, and limitation for their implementation. Initial results indicate teachers recognise the value of such activities in deepening students' understanding and increasing engagement but encounter obstacles such as time constraints, insufficient resources, and difficulties in managing the classroom, underscoring the need for further investigation into effectively incorporating these activities into teaching practices.
