Design considerations and decisions of mathematics teachers in creating dialogical situations for their students

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

This study aims to examine the design considerations and resulting decisions made by mathematics teachers when planning dialogical situations for their students. The data were collected in a taskbased professional development program aimed at fostering dialogical teaching in mathematics classrooms. The results indicate that the requirement to pay attention to how students argue with each other led teachers to employ considerations consistent with elements of task-knowledge related to selecting and implementing tasks having high cognitive demand. However, teachers also extended their task-knowledge to dialogical task-knowledge by identifying and liberating the dialogical affordances embedded in tasks involving cognitive conflict, mathematics complexity and multiple solutions. The results are organized around an emergent model of teachers' design considerations for planning dialogical situations.
