On the implicitness of the ‘theory of change’ in implementations in mathematics education research

Résumé

Articles in mathematics education that report on the implementation of innovations do not always report models for how the innovation program is supposed to attain its effects. We analyze an article with no such explicit theory of change with the aim of providing a background case for discussing the role of theories of change in implementation research. Our method consists of finding hypothetical determinants, which are the retrospectively deduced and explicated mechanisms for how the program reaches its effects. For the problem-solving promoting professional development program we analyze, we find a set of hypothetical determinants that are nested in a complex way. The use of predefined problems for both the lesson model and the professional development model and the collegial development of guiding questions for teachers to use with the predefined problems seems to form the core of a hypothetical theory of change for the program.
