Fostering Multipliers Noticing of Teacher`s Mathematics Learning by Means of Video Examples
Prof. Dr. Jürg Kramer / Prof. Dr. Bettina Rösken-Winter

Description
Effective mathematics teaching requires both substantial teacher education and high quality continuous professional development (CPD) courses. These CPD courses are provided by multipliers, who are teachers themselves, and who commonly struggle with supporting teachers’ mathematics learning substantially. Thus, the assumption of the project NoTe is that multipliers need specific training to be able to advance teachers’ learning of mathematics. In the project NoTe we draw on video examples showing real teacher CPD situations, providing opportunities for multipliers to attend to and to reflect upon crucial teacher learning situations, as well as to discuss together how learning can be best stimulated. In particular, we investigate multipliers’ noticing and knowledge-based reasoning with respect to such crucial mathematics learning incidents in a video club setting, and how it develops over time.

Description
Images from geometry can serve as a visual pathway into mathematics. In the SFB they are leading in particular into pioneer research. This is to be taken as an opportunity: We would like to learn more about how mathematics can be communicated by means of visual content. And we would like to communicate new results from the SFB.
