Secondary Preservice Mathematics Teachers' Curricular ReasoningMathis, Kimber Anne 01 June 2019 (has links)
Researchers have found that teachers' decisions affect students' opportunity to learn. Prior researchers have investigated teachers' decisions while planning, implementing, or reflecting on lessons, but few researchers have studied teachers' decisions and their reasoning throughout the teaching process. It is important to study teachers' reasoning for why they make the decisions they do throughout the teaching process. Furthermore, because inservice and preservice teachers differ in experience and available resources that they draw on while making decisions, it is helpful to consider the resources PSTs' draw on while reasoning. Curricular reasoning is a framework that describes teachers' thinking processes when making decisions during the teaching process. This study investigated secondary preservice teachers' decisions and curricular reasoning throughout the teaching process. Data were collected from two groups of secondary preservice teachers in a mathematics methods course focused on student thinking and mathematics. Results revealed that the preservice teachers used all seven curricular reasoning strands, especially drawing on mathematical meanings, mapping learning trajectories, and considering learners' perspectives. Specifically, this study demonstrates ways in which preservice teachers reason about their decisions and the intertwined nature of their curricular reasoning. The results from this study also imply that it may be helpful to consider the resources PSTs have access to, including their instructor, and that the order of their lesson planning may allow support for the mathematical learning trajectories within individual lessons. This study also provides validation for the curricular reasoning framework described by Dingman, Teuscher, Olson, and Kasmer (in press), provides subcategories of curricular reasoning strands, and has implications for teacher education.

Diferenciace a individualizace výuky nadaných žáků s ADHD na 1. stupni ZŠ / Differentiation and individualization of teaching gifted with ADHD at primary schoolHorová, Edita January 2018 (has links)
This master thesis aims to introduce and describe effective strategies and teaching methods that teachers of gifted pupils with ADHD use and during which the different educational needs of these learners are taken into consideration. This thesis also presents how faculty primary school teachers apply these strategies and teaching methods in integrated and segregated forms of education focused on gifted pupils with ADHD. The theoretical part of this thesis summarizes findings about the issues of differentiation, individualization, talent and teaching strategies of gifted pupils. It also deals with a specific group of gifted pupils with ADHD which are classified as twice-exceptional learners. Therefore, there are also described the recommended strategies for the education of pupils with ADHD. Based on the study of Czech and foreign literature, this thesis delimits strategies and teaching methods which are suitable for gifted pupils with ADHD. The practical part of the thesis is a qualitative research done by analysing the observed lessons in classes with gifted pupils with ADHD, and subsequent in-depth interviews with the teachers of these pupils who teach in an integrated and segregated forms of teaching. This thesis tries to find out what strategies and teaching methods these teachers choose during...
