The Influence of Teacher-Trainings on In-Service Teachers' Expertise: A Teacher-Training-Study on Formative Assessment in Competency-Oriented Mathematics
Besser, Michael; Leiss, Dominik
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Joint Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) (38th) and the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA) (36th, Vancouver, Canada, Jul 15-20, 2014)
The research-project Co[superscript 2]CA investigates the influence of teacher-trainings on in-service teachers' expertise. Within a teacher-training-study 27 in-service teachers have been trained in selected ideas about teaching, having an exemplary focus on central aspects of formative assessment in competency-oriented mathematics. At the end of the teacher-trainings the teachers' pedagogical content knowledge as crucial aspect of teachers' expertise has been evaluated by using tests being sensitive to the teacher-trainings. Results of this evaluation point out: Within teacher-trainings pedagogical content knowledge can be conveyed to in-service teachers successfully. [For the complete proceedings, see ED597799.]
