Task design in a school-based professional development programme
Task design in a school-based professional development programme
In this paper we report on two principles of task design arising from our study of a school-based mathematics teachers’ professional development programme in Shanghai, China. The two principals are: 1) developing a ‘hypothetical learning structure’ for the topic, and 2) developing tasks within a web-like structure of knowledge connections. This paper provides an example of each and discusses implications of our work for the teachers, the professional developer/expert teacher, and the researchers in the team.

Abstract
In this paper we report on two principles of task design arising from our study of a school-based mathematics teachers’ professional development programme in Shanghai, China. The two principals are: 1) developing a ‘hypothetical learning structure’ for the topic, and 2) developing tasks within a web-like structure of knowledge connections. This paper provides an example of each and discusses implications of our work for the teachers, the professional developer/expert teacher, and the researchers in the team.
