A comparative analysis of different models of mathematics teacher collaboration and learning

A comparative analysis of different models of mathematics teacher collaboration and learning
A comparative analysis of different models of mathematics teacher collaboration and learning
In this paper, we employ an analytical framework to examine the design features, teachers’ learning processes, and outcomes expected in three selected models of teachers’ collaboration and learning, namely the Action-Education model, the Learning Study model, and a Community-Centered model for teacher learning. Based on our analysis, we outline the affordances and limitations of the selected models from the three perspectives: analytical vs. holistic ways of thinking of the relationship between research and practice in teacher’s collaboration and learning; cooperation vs. collaboration in interactions between researchers, knowledgeable others and teachers; and the tacit nature of knowledge for teaching mathematics. Through our analysis we suggest a flexible approach to the use of such models, reconsidering them as tools for which it is essential to propose sets of practical principles that can inform teachers of the choice of models as tools for particular purposes, as well as more generally informing the design, evaluation and research of professional learning.

Abstract

In this paper, we employ an analytical framework to examine the design features, teachers’ learning processes, and outcomes expected in three selected models of teachers’ collaboration and learning, namely the Action-Education model, the Learning Study model, and a Community-Centered model for teacher learning. Based on our analysis, we outline the affordances and limitations of the selected models from the three perspectives: analytical vs. holistic ways of thinking of the relationship between research and practice in teacher’s collaboration and learning; cooperation vs. collaboration in interactions between researchers, knowledgeable others and teachers; and the tacit nature of knowledge for teaching mathematics. Through our analysis we suggest a flexible approach to the use of such models, reconsidering them as tools for which it is essential to propose sets of practical principles that can inform teachers of the choice of models as tools for particular purposes, as well as more generally informing the design, evaluation and research of professional learning.
