Processes that a Community of Inquiry Undergo towards Developing Mathematics Lessons with Technology
Edited by: Hans-Georg Weigand, Alison Clark-Wilson, Ana Donevska, (2018)Abstract
The present research main goal is to examine processes that a community of inquiry undergo within a PD program in which middle school mathematics teachers develop mathematics lessons with technology. The research used interviews, audio-recorded discussions, written lesson plans and reflections. Data were analyzed using constant comparison method following Goos and Bennison (2008) and Jaworski (2006). The research findings indicated that to plan and implement a mathematics lesson with technology, the participating teachers went through a series of community processes that included choosing, discussing, suggesting, deciding, commenting, critical alignment, implementing and reflecting. These processes resulted in a shared repertoire of resources.
