Student Voice in Mathematics Classrooms Around the World by Berinderjeet Kaur (Volume Editor); Glenda Anthony (Volume Editor); Minoru Ohtani (Volume Editor); David Clarke (Volume Editor); David Clarke (Volume Editor)
ISBN: 9789462093485
Publication Date: 2013-01-01
"We highly recommend this volume to readers. . . A wonderful book that includes a set of chapters to focus on a unique yet important topic, student voice. . . presents the mathematics education community with another important contribution to what we can learn about students' learning experience through their voice, from classrooms around the world. . . this volume has not only focused on the unique and important topic of student voice but also helped us to gain more insights about classroom instruction around the world. "--Educational Studies in Mathematics The Learner's Perspective Study ascribes to the premise that the investigation of social practice within the mathematics classrooms must attend to the learners' practice with at least the same priority as that accorded to the teachers' practice. In focusing on student voice within this partnership, as enacted in many different guises across different cultures and socio-political learning environments, we hope that we will be better informed to understand the relationship between pedagogy and learning mathematics, and between pedagogy and the empowerment of diverse learners. Research findings from the Learner's Perspective Study reported in this book and its companion volumes affirm just how culturally-situated are the practices of classrooms around the world and the extent to which students are collaborators with the teacher, complicit in the development and enactment of patterns of participation that reflect individual, societal and cultural priorities and associated value systems. In this book, we attend closely to this collaboration with our focus on the voice of the student. Collectively, the authors consider how the deliberate inclusion of student voice can be used to enhance our understandings of mathematics classrooms, of mathematics learning, and of mathematics outcomes for students in classrooms around the world. The Learner's Perspective Study aims to juxtapose the observable practices of the classroom and the meanings attributed to those practices by classroom participants. The LPS research design documents sequences of at least ten lessons, using three video cameras, supplemented by the reconstructive accounts of classroom participants obtained in post-lesson video-stimulated interviews, and by test and questionnaire data, and copies of student written material. In each participating country, data generation focuses on the classrooms of three teachers, identified by the local mathematics education community as competent, and situated in demographically different school communities within the one major city. The large body of complex data supports both the characterization of practice in the classrooms of competent teachers and the development of theory.
Visible Learning for Mathematics, Grades K-12 by Douglas Fisher; Nancy Frey; Linda M. Gojak; Sara Delano Moore; William Mellman; John Hattie
ISBN: 9781506362946
Publication Date: 2016-09-30
Selected as the Michigan Council of Teachers of Mathematics winter book club book!Rich tasks, collaborative work, number talks, problem-based learning, direct instruction...with so many possible approaches, how do we know which ones work the best? In Visible Learning for Mathematics, six acclaimed educators assert it's not about which one--it's about when--and show you how to design high-impact instruction so all students demonstrate more than a year's worth of mathematics learning for a year spent in school.That's a high bar, but with the amazing K-12 framework here, you choose the right approach at the right time, depending upon where learners are within three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. This results in "visible" learning because the effect is tangible. The framework is forged out of current research in mathematics combined with John Hattie's synthesis of more than 15 years of education research involving 300 million students. Chapter by chapter, and equipped with video clips, planning tools, rubrics, and templates, you get the inside track on which instructional strategies to use at each phase of the learning cycle: Surface learning phase:When--through carefully constructed experiences--students explore new concepts and make connections to procedural skills and vocabulary that give shape to developing conceptual understandings.Deep learning phase: When--through the solving of rich high-cognitive tasks and rigorous discussion--students make connections among conceptual ideas, form mathematical generalizations, and apply and practice procedural skills with fluency.Transfer phase:When students can independently think through more complex mathematics, and can plan, investigate, and elaborate as they apply what they know to new mathematical situations. To equip students for higher-level mathematics learning, we have to be clear about where students are, where they need to go, and what it looks like when they get there. Visible Learning for Mathbrings about powerful, precision teaching for K-12 through intentionally designed guided, collaborative, and independent learning.
