From research to practice: the case of mathematical reasoning
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 13:37 authored by Siemon, D, Rosemary CallinghamRosemary Callingham, Day, L, Horne, M, Seah, R, Stephens, M, Jane WatsonJane WatsonMathematical proficiency is a key goal of the Australian Mathematics curriculum. However, international assessments of mathematical literacy suggest that mathematical reasoning and problem solving are areas of difficulty for Australian students. Given the efficacy of teaching informed by quality assessment data, a recent study focused on the development of evidence-based Learning Progressions for Algebraic, Spatial and Statistical Reasoning that can be used to identify where students are in their learning and where they need to go to next. Importantly, they can also be used to generate targeted teaching advice and activities to help teachers progress student learning. This paper explores the processes involved in taking the research to practice.
