The 'Resource' Approach to Mathematics Education
Description
This edited volume will help educators better analyze methodological and practical tools designed to aid classroom instruction. It features papers that explore the need to create a system in order to fully meet the uncertainties and developments of modern educational phenomena. These have emerged due to the abundance of digital resources and new forms of collective work.
The collected papers offer new perspectives to a rising field of research known as the Documentational Approach to Didactics. This framework was first created by the editors of this book. It seeks to develop a deeper understanding of mathematics teaching expertise. Readers will gain insight into how to meet the theoretical questions brought about by digitalization. These include: how to analyze teachers' work when they prepare for their teaching, how to conceptualize the relationships between individual and collective work, and how to follow the related processes over the long term.The contributorsalso provide a comparative view in terms of contrasting selected phenomena across different educational cultures and education systems. For instance, they consider how differences in curriculum resources are available to teachers and how teachers make use of them to shape instruction. Coverage also considers the extent to which teachers make use of additional material, particularly those available through the global marketplace on the Internet. This book builds on works from the Re(s)sources 2018 Conference, Understanding teachers' work through their interactions with resources for teaching, held in Lyon, France.

"The rich set of theoretical constructs, methodological innovations, and connections to existing areas of study in mathematics education that have become available as a result of the sub-field of mathematics education research that is represented in this volume are a valuable contribution to mathematics education more broadly. They have the potential to add texture and variety to the depiction of the work of teaching that is currently present in our literature." (Daniel I. Chazan, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 111 (3), 2022)More details
