Abstract

In this paper, I present the process of developing a framework for analysing verbal metacommunications, in the context of a new mathematics teacher educator working with in-service teachers of mathematics. The interest in analysing verbal metacommunication arises from reflecting on the process of becoming a mathematics teacher educator, as I am learning how to respond in-the-moment to teachers of mathematics as they talk about teaching. Responding to teachers with verbal metacommunication appears to be significant in terms of supporting teachers in their own learning. There is currently no existing framework, within the mathematics education literature, for making systematic distinctions between types of verbal metacommunications in supporting group discussion.
