Online Resources in Mathematics: Teachers’ Genesis of Use
نویسندگان
چکیده
The long-term objective of our research is to develop the instrumental approach for teachers. A first step, presented in this paper, is to observe stable behaviours of teachers using internet resources in mathematics. We retain the scenarios as indicators of the genesis processes. We propose a scenario taxonomy taken from categories elaborated by computer sciences specialists and complemented to take into account didactical aspects. The descriptions provided by teachers permitted to observe an evolution of their scenarios elaboration’s practices.

Online Resources in Mathematics, Teachers' Geneses and Didactical Techniques
Teachers increasingly draw on online resources for their courses. On one side, these resources influence the teaching they propose; on the other side, resources are modified by teachers in their appropriation processes. Understanding these phenomena is an important issue for educational research, in mathematics in particular. The instrumental approach (Guin, Ruthven & Trouche 2005) has been use...
متن کاملTeachers’ instrumental geneses when integrating spreadsheet software
The spreadsheet is not a priori a didactical tool for mathematics education. It may progressively become such an instrument through the process of professional geneses on the part of teachers. This chapter describes the beginning of such a genesis, and presents some results concerning teachers’ professional development with spreadsheets by examining the outcomes of two different sets of data. T...

متن کاملMathematics Teachers’ Approaches to “Listening” in Mathematics Classes: A phenomenographic approach
The ways that mathematics teachers listen to students’ explanation, influence their understanding of students and their teaching activities. If teachers be informed about different ways of “listening” to students’ ideas and conceptions concerning mathematics, they might be able to use listening as an effective teaching method to enhance students’ mathematical learning. The related literature in...
