Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching High School Geometry

چکیده
This paper documents efforts to develop an instrument to measure mathematical knowledge for teaching high school geometry (MKT-G). We report on the process of developing and piloting questions that purported to measure various domains of MKT-G. Scores on the final set of items had no statistical relationship with total years of experience teaching, but all domain scores were found to have statistically significant correlations with years of experience teaching high school geometry. We use this result to propose ways of conceptualizing how instruction-specific considerations might matter in the design of MKT items.

Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching and Visualizing Differential Geometry
In recent decades, education researchers have recognized the need for teachers to have a nuanced content knowledge in addition to pedagogical knowledge, but very little research was conducted into what this knowledge would entail. Beginning in 2008, math education researchers began to develop a theoretical framework for the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching, but their work focused prim...
متن کاملConstruction and Validation of a Questionnaire on Metacognitive Knowledge Needed in Solving Mathematical Word Problems to be Used in Interviews
To provide researchers with an instrument, valid and reliable enough, for measuring students’ metacognitive knowledge needed in solving mathematical word problems, based on the theoretical foundation and previous research, a set of 24 questions at three levels of metacognitive knowledge was constructed. The initial validity of these questions was confirmed by Psychology Professors and high scho...
