Goals of instruction : a cross case analysis of five secondary mathematics teachers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Teacher goals are an understudied component of teacher thinking. Teacher goals uncover the composite of knowledge, beliefs, and values and direction that underlie teachers' actions. In this study five experienced secondary mathematics teachers were...
Teachers' knowledge of algebraic reasoning : its organization for instruction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
' knowledge" (p. 45). Hence, if we want to help teachers make wise choices in the classroom we must know and understand the types of knowledge used during the process of instruction. Unfortunately, the mathematics education community still knows too little...
Grade 4-6 student conceptions and utilization of informal and formal variable representations across mathematically equivalent tasks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
This study reports how 24 grade 4-6 students in one elementary and middle school interpreted formal (e.g., x + y = 12) and informal representations of variables (e.g., □ + ∆ = 12). While interpretations for variables ...
PCK development of beginning secondary mathematics teachers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In this study I examined the development of pedagogical content knowledge of three beginning secondary mathematics teachers. My analysis included the development of the teachers' knowledge of curriculum and their knowledge of student understanding...
Alternatively certified mathematics teachers : factors that contribute to changes in instruction over time
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The focus of this study was the intersection of alternative certification for mathematics teaching, standards based teaching as described by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and the No Child Left Behind Act that permitted...
Examining secondary students algebraic reasoning: flexibility and strategy use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Recent curricular recommendations (NCTM, 2000; RAND, 2003) call for the development of student flexibility in relation to algebraic reasoning. In response to these recommendations, this study focused on the algebraic ...
