Simulating a Pedagogy of Enactment May Work for Some Early Numeracy Teachers but Not Others

North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (45th, Reno, NV, Oct 1-4, 2023)
The Numeracy Kit for Kindergarten 5-Year-Olds (NyKK-5) is a tool to support kindergarten teachers' numeracy practices. Based on a pedagogy of enactment, the NyKK-5 was designed to simulate the types of in-class supports that have been identified as critical elements of effective mathematics professional development (PD). Two groups of teachers received PD on children's early numeracy: The NyKK-5 condition was provided the NyKK-5 and the theory condition was not provided any pedagogical tools. Students in the NyKK-5 and theory classrooms demonstrated greater numeracy growth relative to students in a comparison condition. Teacher logs and classroom observations suggested that the amount of time spent engaging students in mathematics was more predictive of student learning than the NyKK-5 by itself, but the amount of teaching experience may define one condition under which use of the tool is optimized.
