Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is made up of 21 chapters from 25 presentations at the 23rd MAVI conference in Essen, which featured Alan Schoenfeld as keynote speaker. Of major interest to MAVI participants is the relationship between teachers’ professed beliefs and classroom practice. The first section is dedicated to classroom practices and beliefs regarding those practices, taking a look at prospective or practicing teachers’ views of different practices such as decision-making, the roles of explanations, problem-solving, patterning, and the use of play. The focus of the second section in this book deals with teacher change, which is notoriously difficult, even when the teachers themselves are interested in changing their practice. The third section of this book centers on the undercurrents of teaching and learning mathematics, what rises in various situations, causing tensions and inconsistencies. The last section of this book takes a look at emerging themes in affect-related research. In this section, papers discuss attitudes towards assessment.

Download or read book Elementary Teachers' Beliefs about the Nature of Mathematics, Doing Mathematics, Mathematics Classroom Environment and Critical Thinking in Mathematics in Private Schools in Beirut, Lebanon written by Rima Ahmad Basha and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers' beliefs about mathematics and about doing mathematics play a significa nt role in shaping their behavior, teaching practices and student's learning. Re cent reform efforts have advocated a new vision of mathematics, teaching mathema tics and critical thinking in mathematics classrooms; however, it is unclear how teachers actually conceptualize what is meant by these terms. The purpose of th is study is to examine elementary mathematics Lebanese teacher's beliefs. This s tudy was guided by the following questions: What are Lebanese elementary teacher s' beliefs in private schools in Beirut about the nature of mathematics, doing a nd teaching mathematics and critical thinking in mathematics? To what extent are teachers' beliefs about the nature of mathematics, doing/ teaching mathematics and critical thinking in mathematics correlated to each other? To what extent ar e Lebanese elementary teachers' beliefs about the nature of mathematics, doing/ teaching mathematics and critical thinking in mathematics reflected in their dec isions about what consititues an important mathematical task and high level thin king task? The research questions were investigated using a belief questionnaire and admini stered to 80 elementary mathematics teachers. Findings suggest that Lebanese tea chers hold stronger beliefs more consistent with the fallibilist view with respe ct to the nature of mathematics, doing mathematics, learning environment and cri tical thinking than the absolutist view. Correlation results showed that Lebanes e teachers' beliefs about the nature of math are correlated with their beliefs a bout doing mathematics as well as about the learning environment. Stepwise multi ple regressions showed that both Fallibilist and Absolutist items concerning the learning environment are significant predictors of participant's decision about high level thinking task and Absolutist items concerning the learning environme nt predict participant's decision about important mathematical task. Results of the study will contribute to the literature on teacher beliefs in gen eral and to the growing body of literature on Lebanese elementary mathematics ed ucation in particular. The results will also be of interest to teachers and teac her educators as they work toward increasing teacher's capacities to support hig h level thinking and ...

This book was released on 2013-09-04 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to improve mathematics education have led educators and researchers to not only study the nature of proficiency, beliefs, and practices in mathematics learn¬ing and teaching, but also identify and assess possible influences on students’ and teachers’ proficiencies, beliefs, and practices in learning and teaching mathematics. The complexity of these topics has fascinated researchers from various back¬grounds, including psychologists, cognitive or learning scientists, mathematicians, and mathematics educators. Among those researchers, two scholars with a similar background – Alan Schoenfeld in the United States and Günter Törner in Germany, are internationally recognized for their contributions to these topics. To celebrate their 65th birthdays in 2012, this book brought together many scholars to reflect on how their own work has built upon and continued Alan and Günter’s work in mathematics education. The book contains 17 chapters by 33 scholars from six different education systems. This collection describes recent research and provides new insights into these topics of interest to mathematics educators, researchers, and graduate students who wish to learn about the trajectory and direction of research on these issues.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed methods study was to document and examine the beliefs held by preservice elementary teachers prior to entering a teacher education program concerning the nature of mathematics and their perceptions about the effective use of information and communication technology (ICT) for mathematics instruction. Through an online questionnaire (N=132) followed by interviews of purposefully selected respondents (n=8), the following questions were addressed: (1) What beliefs do preservice elementary mathematics teachers hold upon entering teacher education programs regarding the nature of mathematics? (2) What beliefs do preservice elementary mathematics teachers hold upon entering teacher education programs about how ICT should be used in the classroom? and (3) How do preservice elementary mathematics teachers' beliefs about the nature of mathematics relate to their views about the use of ICT in teaching mathematics? Video-elicitation was used in the interviews to determine how respondents perceived various uses of interactive whiteboards. Respondents were grouped based on their beliefs about the nature of mathematics and their reactions to the videos that they were shown. It was discovered that interview respondents who held contrasting views about the nature of mathematics also held differing beliefs about teaching and learning as well as the benefits of ICT. Respondents who saw mathematics as a set of fixed naturally occurring rules, an Absolutist view, favoured teacher directed use of ICT to support the transmission of knowledge. On the other hand, those who viewed mathematics as a human construct, a Fallibilist image, were more in favour of ICT use to support student mathematics investigation and talk. The existence of a potential hidden curriculum was also discovered. Although all interview participants were shown the same videos, respondents in the two groups perceived roles of the teacher and students in the videos that were aligned with their beliefs about the nature of mathematics and teaching and learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of Likert scale instruments for measuring teachers’ beliefs is criticized because of amplifying social desirability, reducing the willingness to make differentiations, and often providing less or no contexts. Those weaknesses may distort teachers’ responses to a Likert scale instrument, causing inconsistencies between their responses and their actions. Therefore, the author offers an alternative approach by employing rank-then-rate items and considering students’ abilities as one of the factors affecting teachers’ beliefs. The results confirm that the offered approach may give a better prediction about teachers’ beliefs than does a Likert scale instrument.

Brechin-Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of mathematics teachers beliefs regarding the nature of mathematics and their classroom learning environment in Roberts County (fictional). The study investigated 165 kindergarten through twelfth grade mathematics teachers that taught at least one segment of mathematics a day. The researcher administered three surveys: the Teacher Beliefs Survey (developed by Beswick, 2005), the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (developed by Taylor, Fraser, and Fisher, 1997) and a demographics survey to mathematics teachers at 35 schools. Data analysis included calculating the sub-scale means of each survey, a Pearson correlation, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Data analysis found that Roberts County mathematics teachers held beliefs consistent with a problem-solving (or student-centered) view of mathematics however they were undecided (did not agree or disagree) with the instrumentalists view of mathematics. Teachers favored a classroom environment that allowed students to communicate about mathematics and to express their concerns about their own learning. Teachers beliefs about the nature of mathematics and their classroom learning environment were found to be statistically, positively significant with regard to the problem-solving view of mathematics (TBS sub-scale) and the CLES subscales. Elementary, middle, and high school teachers beliefs differed. Elementary teachers were more likely to have problem-solving oriented beliefs and had classrooms which supported a constructivist learning environment. Elementary teachers supported mathematics by making connections to mathematics outside of school, encouraging students to communicate about mathematics, providing a safe learning environment that allowed students to express concerns about their learning and to share control of their learning. Recommendations to further Roberts Countys mathematics teachers towards a more problem-solving and constructivist classroom learning environments are guided by the ideals of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics publications and the Georgia Performance Standards for mathematics.
