Thinking On The Brink: Facilitating Student Teachers' Learning Through In-The-Moment Interjections, Travis L. Lemon Jul 2010

Thinking On The Brink: Facilitating Student Teachers' Learning Through In-The-Moment Interjections, Travis L. Lemon

Theses and Dissertations

In order to investigate ways pre-service student teachers (PSTs) might learn to teach with high-level tasks and effectively incorporate student thinking into their lessons a teaching experiment was designed and carried out by the cooperating teacher/researcher (CT). The intervention was for the CT to interject into the lessons of the PSTs during moments of opportunity. By interjecting a small question or comment during the lesson the CT hoped to support the learning of both the students of mathematics in the class and the PSTs. This in-the-moment interjecting was meant to enhance and underscore the situated learning of the PSTs within …


Mathematics Student Teaching In Japan: A Multi-Case Study, Allison Turley Shwalb Nov 2008

Mathematics Student Teaching In Japan: A Multi-Case Study, Allison Turley Shwalb

Theses and Dissertations

Nearly all research that seeks to assist in reforming mathematics student teaching in the United States has been limited in that it (1) does not consider student teaching models in non-Western cultures, and (2) has not sufficiently studied the unique context of mathematics in student teacher-cooperating teacher interactions. This multi-case study addresses these issues by analyzing the interactions between three cooperating teachers and two student teachers in the mathematics student teaching setting in Japan. Four conclusions are presented to generate a coherent picture of the principles of teaching and learning to teach that are emphasized during this Japanese student teaching …
