One Elementary Teacher's Struggle to Encourage Thinking in Her Mathematics Classroom: A Metaphorical Analysis (Qualitative, Case Study, Ethnographic)
type: CreativeWork
description: This one year intense study of mathematics teaching and learning focussed on one elementary teacher who taught at a private school for about 25 children, aged 5-10 years old. About 100 hours of fieldnotes, audiotapes, and videotapes were made of this teacher's mathematics classroom and other in-school activities, such as teacher meetings. About 150 hours of audiotapes were made of out-of-school discussions between the teacher and the researcher. These discussions focussed on classroom observations, planning future lessons, evaluating the children's progress, and the teacher's beliefs about mathematics and mathematics teaching.
