Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Curriculum and Instruction.
This research examined how three middle school mathematics teachers who were supported by their district to use the Teaching Through Problem Solving approach interpreted and implemented the Standards for Mathematical practices (SMPs) developed by the Common Core State Standards (2010) and the Mathematics Teaching Practices (MTPs) developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (2014). Data sources included a pre and post-interview with each participant, one lesson plan from each participant, and one lesson observation for that lesson plan. Data analysis involved descriptive and interpretive components of qualitative methods to understand teachers’ interpretation and implementation of SMPs and MTPs. Four themes emerged from this analysis: (1) Supporting teachers to use Teaching Through Problem Solving may help them in their implementation of the SMPs more than in their interpretations, (2) Teachers who use Teaching Through Problem Solving may understand and fully implement the MTPs, (3) Teachers who are supported to use Teaching Through Problem Solving may use Teaching For Problem Solving, and (4) Using Teaching For Problem Solving may result in partial implementation of the SMPs and MTPs.
