Becoming a Teacher Educator: A Self-Study of the Use of Inquiry in a Mathematics Methods Course
Marin, Katherine Ariemma
Studying Teacher Education, v10 n1 p20-35 2014
This article details the self-study of a beginning teacher educator in her first experience in teaching a mathematics methods course. The transition from teacher to teacher educator is explored through the experience of a course focused on inquiry. Inquiry is embedded within the course from two perspectives: mathematical inquiry and teaching as inquiry. The framework of teaching as inquiry is an important part of both the self-study and the mathematics methods course. Implications of the transition from teacher to teacher educator as well as the role of inquiry in mathematics teacher education are discussed.
