Interviews with mathematics education researchers about recent studies. Hosted by Samuel Otten, University of Missouri.
Alan Schoenfeld from the University of California, Berkeley, discusses his career in mathematics education research.
Jodie Hunter from Massey University (New Zealand) discusses the article, "Weaving together the threads of Indigenous knowledge and mathematics," published in Educational Studies in Mathematics, Volume 116. Co-author: Roberta Hunter
For this 200th official episode of the podcast, Samuel Otten from the University of Missouri discusses the main ideas from some of his most highly-cited articles and also from some of his "underrated" articles.
Drew Nucci ([email protected]) from WestEd discusses his article, "The role of an online learning environment in teacher care for secondary mathematics students," published in Educational Studies in Mathematics, Volume 117. We also discuss Colleague.AI, which is a curriculum and assessment tool for teachers.
Hanan Alyami from Purdue University Fort Wayne discusses her article, "Defining radian: Provoked concept definitions of radian angle measure," published in Research in Mathematics Education (Vol. 25).
Priya V. Prasad from the University of Texas at San Antonio discusses her NSF-project working with college algebra instructors and previews some research that will be shared at the PME-NA conference in a report entitled "Factors contributing to instructional shifts at the college level," co-author Jessica Gehrtz.
Jonathan Bostic from Bowling Green State University discusses MathEdMeasures.org and the work of the VM2ED (Validity Evidence for Measurement in Mathematics Education) project, with Erin Krupa and others.
Sigal-Hava Rotem from Utrecht University (The Netherlands) discusses the article, "Using critical incidents as a tool for promoting prospective teachers' noticing during reflective discussions in a fieldwork-based university course," published in Educational Studies in Mathematics (Vol. 117). Co-authors: Potari and Psycharis
Dave Coffey and Kathy Coffey from Grand Valley State University discuss their new book, Designing Math Adventures: Using Design Thinking to Support the Teaching and Learning of K-8 Mathematics, available through Amazon.
Travis Weiland from the University of Houston (but soon to be at UNC-Charlotte) discusses the chapter "Preparing teachers of statistics: A critical read of standards, review of past research, and future directions" published in The AMTE Handbook of Mathematics Teacher Education (Vol. 5), with chapter co-authors Chris Engledowl and Susan Cannon.
Zandra de Araujo (University of Florida), Amber Candela (University of Missouri, St Louis), and Paul Wonsavage (University of Florida) join Sam Otten (University of Missouri, Columbia) to discuss their NSF-funded project entitled Practice-Driven Professional Development (PDPD). They share thoughts on why they are pursuing an incremental approach rather than a transformational approach in supporting math teachers.
