Description
Mathematics teacher noticing is the practice of attending to, interpreting and responding to students' mathematical thinking. Teacher noticing is considered a core teacher practice that supports students' learning, and in the past two decades it has become a prominent research strand in mathematics education. In the talk, I will present the construct of critical events, which are moments where students' thinking becomes apparent and can serve the teacher to develop the students' mathematical understanding, as a way to concretize the object of teachers' noticing of students' mathematical thinking. Through sharing several studies, I will present a model that characterizes critical events that pre-service teachers identified during field placement. I will show what this model allows us to learn about pre-service teachers' development, and how teacher educators can support pre-service teachers' learning to notice critical events. Lastly, I will share some future directions where the construct of noticing critical events is used to support pre-service teachers in learning contemporary ways of teaching mathematics such as grounding mathematics learning in socio-ecological issues from daily experiences and teaching mathematics through 3D printing and design.| Period | 20 Nov 2025 |
