CHANGE IN POSING OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN IN THE CONTEXT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We apply the commognitive framework to examine changes in instructional practices of a teacher participating in the TEAMS (Teaching Exploratively for All Mathematics Students) professional development (PD) program. Specifically, we focus on the process that has often been named "lowering of cognitive demand". We conceptualize this lowering as "ritualization" of OTLs: transitioning from exploration-requiring Opportunities to Learn (OTLs) to ritual-enabling OTLs. Two lessons of one elementary school mathematics teacher who participated in the PD for two years are compared. Findings show a quantitative change in OTLs, as well as change in patterns of "ritualization"- transitions from exploration-requiring to ritual-enabling OTLs.
