Teachers Researching with University Academics

This Working Session (WS) was the culmination of a process that started in 2007, as a follow-up to a Research Forum at PME 30. At PME 31, a framework was developed for analysing ways in which university academics and teachers might conduct research together. Several participants from this session decided to prepare and start projects that formed the basis of the WS at PME 32, where examples of research collaborations between teachers and university academics were presented and discussed with feedback being given to the researchers in the style of a reflecting team (the focus being on the articulation by the presenter in response to probing questioning from the participants). For PME 33, we used the two WSs to work on reviewing 8 draft papers that are being developed from proposals to submit to the Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, for consideration for a Special Issue on Teacher Change (First Guest Editor, Laurinda Brown).
