Identifying sense-making in algebra instruction at U.S. post-secondary colleges
Résumé
As part of a large-scale study of algebra instruction at two-year post-secondary institutions in the United States, we have developed a qualitative video analysis framework, Evaluating the Quality of Instruction in Post-secondary Mathematics (EQIPM). In this paper, we present two of twelve characteristics used to describe instruction (Instructors Making Sense of Procedures, and Student Mathematical Reasoning and Sense Making), which describe students and instructors engaging with mathematics so their ideas or ways of thinking are evident. We use examples taken from our corpus of videos to exemplify these two characteristics of instruction and how they contribute to its quality. We also offer suggestions for professional development activities.
