Goal: sketch my background, myexpertise over last ten years, andresearch themes next five years
Background
• Christian Bokhove,
• maths teacher since 1998
• Projects maths and ICT
• Research at Freudenthal Institute
Background
• National projects
– Wisweb (Freudenthal Institute)
– WELP (Freudenthal Institute)
– Galois (Vooruit! grant)
– Sage (Funded with prize money)
• PhD with Jan van Maanen and Paul Drijvers, Freudenthal Institute
In what way can the use of ICT support acquiring, practicing and assessing relevant mathematical skills
Assessment- Formative (for) v Summative (of)- Feedback
(Black & Wiliam, 1998)
ICT tool use- Instrumentation- Task, technology, theory
(Lagrange, 1999)- Teacher, student- TPACK
Algebraic expertise- Basic skills- Symbol Sense
(Arcavi, 1994)- Transition sec.ed. To higher ed.Christian Bokhove
Qualitativeapproach
Quantitativeapproach
Quantitative Qualitative
• Complementary
• Qualitative
– Insight processes
– Why does it work?
– What can work?
• Quantitative
– Effectiveness
– Does it work?
- Grounded theory- Case study- 1 to 1 sessions- Smallscale- Atlas-TI
- Multilevel analysis- Learning analytics- Datamining techniques
Theory Practice
• www.algebrametinzicht.nl
• Practice learns from research
– What could work?
– How does it work?
– Validated intervention
• Theory learns from practice
– Observe best practices
Photo’s classroom experiments
Design principle: elaborate feedback• Black and William (1998)
• Assessment for learning
• Several feedback types (Hattie and Timperley: FT, FP, FR, FS)
Design principle: crises
John Keats
“Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success”
• Crises of learning (Van Hiele)
• Productive failure (Kapur)
• Impasse (VanLehn)
• Doll, Piaget, VanLehn, ….
Relation to research themes
Touches on research themes
• School Improvement and Effectiveness
• Design and Utilisation of Digital Technologies
• Research in Mathematics Education SIG
• (Quantitative Methodologies)
Wider research strategy
• Publications in journals
• Networking, conferences (nat. and int.)
• Acquisition projects, collaboration nationaland international, funding/grants
Wider research strategy
Focus on
• Mathematics in the classroom
• ICT tool use: characteristics
• Implementation in classroom (e.g. formative scenarios)
• Teachers and students
• Design principles
• Link Computer Science: datamining log files
Questions
• In what way are digital tools best integratedinto classroom practice?
• What characteristics does a digital tool need?
• What does this mean for students andteachers?
• What are the differences between maths withpen-and-paper and maths with digital tools?
• How can students acquire a deeperunderstanding of mathematics?
Development teacher programme
• Knowledge
• Knowledge of tools
– DGS
– Algebra tools
• Bridging theory and practice
Questions
• How can we support teachers in teaching mathematics?
• What do recent developments mean forMaths education
– Math Wars
– Tablets: handwriting recognition
– Khan academy
