One teacher’s awareness in a mathematics classroom: towards an observation methodology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference Contribution (Conference Proceeding)

Abstract

Starting from the position that it is desirable for students of mathematics
to develop awareness of mathematics and acknowledging that it is not
possible for a teacher to access students’ awareness directly, attention
shifts to the ways in which teachers use their pedagogical and subject
knowledge to educate awareness. Drawing on in-class observation, review
of video-record and teacher interview, I report an attempt to mark
instances of teacher awareness of student awareness and to trace
associated decision-making relating to student attention within a
mathematics lesson. I consider differences in what is noticed by observer
and teacher and how this might relate to teachers’ on-going development.
