Abstract Historically, the introductory course in statistics at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), has taken a traditional, lecture-based form. A previous study at NMBU concluded that the course structure appeared to disfavor certain cognitive or personality types, extraverts in particular. Therefore, in 2016, as an experiment, the course was restructured into a student active learning course following a flipped classroom approach. At the same time, students were encouraged to do an online screening test for cognitive preferences,… Continue Reading →

tandfonline.com – Teachers’ Views on Teaching Highly Able Pupils in a Heterogeneous Mathematics Classroom

Posted on by Troels Gannerup Christensen - Læst 14 gange

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Aiming to bring teachers’ perspectives to research, teachers’ (N = 12) discussions are explored in the context of a professional development program on teaching highly able pupils (HAPs) mathematics. The findings show that the teachers perceive they have the competence to recognize HAPs, for example through continuous assessment. However, they express that collaboration with colleagues is necessary and that they would like their principals’ acknowledgement for their competence. They connect and verbalize their practical expertise with theories of teaching HAPs and demonstrate several criteria for teaching that successfully meet pupils’ learning needs in heterogeneous classrooms. Thus, they feel confident in how to orchestrate teaching that is inclusive of HAPs in heterogeneous mathematics classrooms. Link til kilde
