Video is commonly used in teacher preparation programs. Teacher educators use video for various purposes. In this study, we describe the Learning to Learn from Mathematics Teaching project. project, develop pre-service teachers' (PSTs) orientations, knowledge and skills analyzing reflecting on mathematics teaching ways that generate improvement. We discuss have a course aimed at developing elementary PSTs' abilities learn teaching. addition, report study investigated changes lesson analysis...
This study explores the relationships between teacher knowledge, teaching practice, and student learning in mathematics. It extends previous work that developed evaluated an innovative approach to assessing knowledge based on teachers’ analyses of classroom video clips. Teachers watched commented 13 fraction These written were coded using objective rubrics yield a reliable valid indicator their usable knowledge. Previous showed this measure correlate with another predict students’ from...
This study investigates the impact of an observation framework on preservice teachers’ abilities to engage in productive video-based reflections mathematics teaching. The Lesson Analysis Framework draws from research expert—novice teacher differences. Its central element is analysis instructional decisions students’ learning mathematics. Through experimental design, effects this reflect teaching are compared alternative focused evaluation separate elements instruction. Findings suggest that...
This article describes the theoretical framework, research base, structure, and content of a video-based professional development program implemented during 2 consecutive years with sixth-grade mathematics teachers from five low-performing schools. First, difficulties encountered in responding to prompts 1st year are summarized. Problematic questions deal teachers' (a) basic understanding target topics, (b) knowledge their students' understanding, (c) ability analyze work reasoning beyond...
In order to examine the cross‐cultural consistency of several patterns couple communication, 363 participants from four different countries (Brazil, Italy, Taiwan, and United States) completed self‐report measures about communication satisfaction in their romantic relationships. Across countries, constructive was positively associated with relationship satisfaction, whereas demand/withdraw negatively satisfaction. Woman demand/man withdraw significantly more likely than man demand/woman...
Abstract This study investigates, through an experimental design, the effectiveness of a professional development program on teacher knowledge and practices student learning. The consisted series video-based modules designed to respond needs U.S. teachers, as highlighted by findings from 1999 Third International Mathematics Science Video Study. Sixty-four 6th-grade teachers five low-performing inner-city schools participated in were randomly assigned treatment control groups. Measures...
This study examines the development of a specific sub-skill for studying and improving teaching—the generation hypotheses about effects teaching on student learning. Two groups elementary preservice teachers (PSTs) were compared: one group that attended typical mathematics-methods course integrating analysis skills learning from teaching. Data consist PSTs’ comments video clips mathematics instruction administered before after completion. Findings reveal PSTs at beginning program struggled...
Abstract Researchers have found that computer modeling fosters the learning of causal mechanisms in systems, an important crosscutting concept science many novice learners find challenging. Despite research highlights role teacher's instructional practices enacting tools, few studies considered teachers' use and its implications for student classroom interactions, compared to interactions without tools. In this study, we examine (a) impact on students' understanding links decomposition (b)...
While offering the potential to support learning interactions, emerging AI applications like Large Language Models (LLMs) come with ethical concerns. Grounding technology design in human values can address ethics and ensure adoption. To this end, we apply Value‐Sensitive Design—involving empirical, conceptual technical investigations—to centre development evaluation of LLM‐based chatbots within a high school environmental science curriculum. Representing multiple perspectives expertise, help...
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in simulating public opinions on social issues. These can be leveraged educational simulations that allow students to acquire information and feedback from multiple perspectives. In this research, we investigate the potential of using LLMs (specifically GPT-4) generate open-ended responses about climate change within a science communication simulation. We prompt GPT-4 role-play as different personas with various demographics (race/ethnicity,...
Teacher education programmes need to provide opportunities that support the integration of theory with practice. To date, there is little research on how help preservice teachers apply professional knowledge an important aspect practice: lesson planning. The present developed educational approach planning by drawing vision and analysis teaching. shows what kinds connections may be established between decisions. These require reasoning about possible learning effects instruction according...
Teacher preparation programs face a significant challenge in determining how to design learning experiences that develop the combination of knowledge, practices, and dispositions needed for effective classroom teaching. Time constraints theory–practice divide are two well-documented concerns. We introduce conceptual framework elements video-enhanced mathematics methods course targets these The centers on systematic reflection analysis practice intended foster career-long learning. then...
