This study investigated how prospective teachers notice student mathematical thinking in a video-based learning environment and in analyzing students’ thinking when they conduct a research in their practice schools in the scope of a 14-week elective course program. Instructional process of the course had two phases. In the first phase, a group of eight prospective mathematics teachers analysed video cases related to students’ mathematical thinking. In the second phase, they explored actual students’ mathematical thinking through diagnostic interviews in their practice schools in order to conduct a small-scale research project. The results indicated that while prospective teachers tended to be more simplistic in analysing students’ thinking in their early video-case analyses, they came up with deeper analysis of student thinking by making sound inferences from data and proposing pedagogical strategies. Moreover, prospective teachers stated that micro-case videos functioned as a catalyst for enhancing their noticing of student thinking before conducting small-scale research projects.

Exploring prospective secondary mathematics teachers' interpretation of student thinking through analysing students' work in modelling
Kabar, Makbule Gözde Didiş; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Alacacı, Cengiz (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-09-01)
Researchers point out the importance of teachers' knowledge of student thinking and the role of examining student work in various contexts to develop a knowledge base regarding students' ways of thinking. This study investigated prospective secondary mathematics teachers' interpretations of students' thinking as manifested in students' work that embodied solutions of mathematical modelling tasks. The data were collected from 25 prospective mathematics teachers enrolled in an undergraduate course through fou...
Noticing Student Mathematical Thinking Within the Context of Lesson Study
GÜNER, Pınar; Akyüz, Didem (SAGE Publications, 2019-12-21)
The purpose of this study is to investigate a preservice middle school mathematics teacher's noticing of student mathematical thinking within the context of lesson study as a component of a teaching practicum course in a teacher education program. This study also examines how preservice teacher education experiences in the context of lesson study influence the noticing skill of the participant preservice teacher, Lisa. Results indicated that the lesson study process supported teacher noticing of student mat...
Preparing pre-service teachers for reform-minded teaching through online video case discussions: change in noticing
Osmanoğlu, Aslıhan; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Education (2010)
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes on what the prospective elementary mathematics teachers noticed as they watched video cases and discussed online. More specially, I wanted to answer the question “To what extent the elementary prospective mathematics teachers’ noticing with respect to reform-minded teaching changes during their video case-based teacher education, in terms of teacher and student roles?” With this question in mind, I asked senior prospective mathematics teachers at METU to ...
Using electronic portfolios to promote reflective thinking in language teacher education
Ayan, Didem (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01)
This study aimed at investigating the role of electronic portfolios in fostering pre-service teachers' reflective thinking. The research was conducted with pre-service English language teachers enrolled in a practicum course in an undergraduate teacher education programme in Turkey. The data were collected through e-portfolios and interviews. The findings revealed that e-portfolios gave participants a sense of ownership, fostered reflecting thinking, supported collaboration and allowed them to make connecti...
An Investigation of pre-service secondary mathematics teachers’ knowledge of students’ thinking through analyzing student work
Didiş, Makbule Gözde; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014)
The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service secondary mathematics teachers’ knowledge of students’ thinking within an undergraduate course context. The participants were twenty five pre-service mathematics teachers enrolled in this undergraduate mathematics education course which aims to develop pre-service mathematics teachers’ knowledge in and about mathematical modeling in teaching and learning mathematics. The design of the study contained 4 two-week cycles. In the first week of each cycle,...
