Graduate teaching assistants' enactmentment of reasoning and proving tasks in a content course for elementary teachers - p.372-419
Graduate teaching assistants serve as instructors of record for numerous undergraduate courses every semester, including serving as teachers for mathematics content courses for elementary preservice teachers. In this study, the authors examine 6 teaching assistants’ teaching practices in the context of a geometry content course for preservice teachers by focusing on their enactment of reasoning-and-proving tasks. This investigation into teaching assistants’ teaching practices identifies factors associated with their enactment of reasoning-and-proving tasks (e.g., generating student participation). This research has implications for professional development to support college mathematics instructors’ teaching.
