While noticing has received extensive attention from researchers with regards to pre-service and in-service teachers, there has been little research on how pre-service mathematics teachers respond to student thinking in the mathematical discussions. The aim of the study was to investigate pre-service mathematics teachers? (PSMTs) ways of…

Mathematicians teaching at the university level have a deep understanding and appreciation for the mathematics that they teach. However, they rarely receive much formal training in teaching. Thus, university mathematicians must rely on their mathematical understandings and personally developed ideas of teaching to guide their decision-making.…

In this paper, we offer a novel framework for analyzing the Opportunities for Reasoning-and-Proving (ORP) in mathematical tasks. By drawing upon some tenets of the commognitive framework, we conceptualize learning and teaching mathematics via reasoning and proving both as enacting reasoning processes (e.g., conjecturing, justifying) in the…

The shift to student engagement in scientific and engineering practices to learn science provides opportunities for science learning and language learning to occur in tandem. These opportunities also pose new challenges for elementary pre-service teachers (PSTs) since literacy methods courses have been presented separately from science methods…

The ability to pronounce consonant clusters is essential for the communicative processes of a language.
