Research: What Potential Does It Hold For Teacher Practitioners?, Anthony Williams, Peter Kilgour
Research: What Potential Does It Hold For Teacher Practitioners?, Anthony Williams, Peter Kilgour
Peter Kilgour
The teaching profession finds itself at the crossroads
at this time. because the crowded curriculum
and the emphasis on core competencies including
literacy and numeracy can have the tendency to push
research training into the background. The question
should be asked though, is research capability a skill
practicing teachers should be engaging with? Is
reconstructing the curricula of universities to make
research preparation a priority worth pursuing?
The following paper considers the issue of research
and what it can add to teacher practitioners’ “arsenal”
of capabilities. The authors believe that there is value
in reconsidering the curriculum of teachers, as …

The Application Of Multiple Intelligences In Two Year 7 Textile Technology Classes, Brianna Cameron, Gail Ormsby, Peter Kilgour
Peter Kilgour
In a teaching and learning environment that
embraces innovation, inclusion and effectiveness,
it is essential to acknowledge students’ individual
learning styles to promote optimum learning.
While multiple intelligences (MI) theory considers
students’ interest, it has been more often applied
in teaching mathematics, science and music
subjects. This study applied the theory of MI within
two year seven textile technology classes. Data
were collected from student group assessments,
surveys and daily engagement levels. The results
of the study show that groups whose members
shared similar MI reported having a more positive
experience than groups that were not specifically
MI assigned. Further, …

Explicating The Teacher's Perspective From The Researchers' Perspectives: Generating Accounts Of Mathematics Teachers' Practice, Marty Simon, Ron Tzur
Explicating The Teacher's Perspective From The Researchers' Perspectives: Generating Accounts Of Mathematics Teachers' Practice, Marty Simon, Ron Tzur
Ron Tzur
In this article we articulate a methodology for studying mathematics teacher development in the context of reform. The generation of accounts of teachers'practice, an adaptation of the case study, provides an approach to understanding teachers' current practice and to viewing their current practice in the context of development toward envisioned reforms. The methodology is an alternative both to studies that focus on teachers' deficits and to teachers' own accounts of their practice. Conceptual frameworks developed within the mathematics education research community are applied to the task of investigating the nature of practice developed by teachers in transition. We characterize this …

Moving Students Through Steps Of Mathematical Knowing: An Account Of The Practice Of An Elementary Mathematics Teacher In Transition, Karen Heinz, Margaret Kinzel, Marty Simon, Ron Tzur
Ron Tzur
We present an account of a sixth-grade teacher's practice as she responds to the challenges of current reform initiatives. We analyzed classroom observations and interviews to understand how the teacher, Ivy, teaches and thinks about teaching mathematics to her students. For Ivy, mathematical meaning is available in particular experiences. She creates these experiences for her students by leading them through a predetermined sequence of steps of mathematical knowing. This account contributed to our postulation of a perspective on mathematics learning that we refer to as perceptionbased, in which the goal of instruction is to create opportunities for students to perceive, …
