| description | The study investigated the effects of two reflection support programs on elementary school
mathematics teachers’ pedagogical problem solving view. Sixty-two teachers participated in
a professional development program. Thirty teachers were assigned to the self-questioning
(S_Q) training and thirty two teachers were assigned to the reflection discourse (R_D)
training. The S_Q program was based on the IMPROVE self-questioning approach which
emphasizes systematic discussion along the phases of mathematical or pedagogical problem
solving as student and teacher. The R_D program emphasized discussion of standard based
teaching and learning principles. Findings indicated that systematic reflection support
(S_Q) is effective for developing mathematics PCK, and strengthening metacognitive
knowledge of mathematics teachers, more than reflection discourse (R_D). No differences
were found between the groups in developing beliefs about teaching mathematics in using
problem solving view. |
