Four-phase weekly cycle for AI-based noticing practice: video, chatbot interaction, reflection, mentor feedback

Description

The implementation was organised as a repeating weekly structure in which "each week consisting of four phases". In phase one preservice teachers watched videos depicting a student's equal-sign misconception; in phase two they interacted with the student chatbot at their own pace; in phase three they reflected on the conversation using three guiding questions and documented reflections with comments linked to chat responses; in phase four they received mentor chatbot feedback. This cycle repeated across three weeks with a different virtual student each week.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Weekly materials assigned with completion within one week; reflection prompts designed to examine noticing; conversation transcripts copied into a separate file with linked comments

Constraints

• The article notes the tasks used may have influenced noticing transitions, and the three-week design does not permit conclusions about the durability of noticing practices

Target Learners

• Final-year preservice mathematics teachers

Learning Goals

• Attending to, interpreting, and shaping student thinking about the equal sign through guided practice cycles

Claims

• Ai Simulation Virtual Student Mentor Chatbots [+M]
