Using Big Ideas of Measurement Framework to Support Preservice Teachers’ Noticing of Students’ Thinking

• In Event: Poster Session #2

Description

In this report, I explore how the use of Big Ideas of Measurement, a research-based framework on students’ measurement thinking supports preservice teachers’ professional noticing. Particularly, pre- and post-noticing instruments were used to capture the noticing of 14 preservice teachers before and after the framework was introduced. Findings indicate that participants’ noticing of students’ measurement thinking became broader and deeper with the support of the framework, yet preservice teachers encountered challenges with some big ideas of measurement. These findings suggest that Big Ideas of Measurement framework is a potential tool for instructors of content and method courses to assist preservice teachers’ noticing.
