Related Claims¶
- The closer training content is to authentic clinical scenarios, the smoother its translation into practice — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Lessons highly rated for both the mathematics and access to mathematics used varied participation structures, but none of the 14 was also highly rated on agency, authority, and identity — related
- The four lessons rated highest on both student explanations and agency, authority, and identity featured Math Talks, but their strongest features often ended when the Math Talks did — related
- Mathematical sense-making received High ratings most frequently among the MQI dimensions, while linking representations and multiple solutions/procedures were most often rated Not Present — related
