Two-strand course content (pedagogical and research) supported by an online community strand¶

Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The course content was organised into a Pedagogical strand of four themed weeks (Fostering Algebraic/Geometric/Numerical/Functional Reasoning), a Research strand integrating international mathematics education research findings, and an Online Community of Mathematics Mentors (OCoMM) space for collaboration. The authors state: "The course content was structured around two main strands, pedagogical and research, facilitated by an online community." Research summaries were deliberately concise to prompt participants to consult the included references for deeper investigation.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

opportunities purposefully built in for participants to share thoughts in online spaces for each activity

Constraints¶

reviewing the output of peers was not a requirement; the design relied on participants' own motivation

Target Learners¶

practicing mathematics teachers who are prospective or practicing mentors

Learning Goals¶

applying research-informed ideas to teaching and mentoring practice
