Time as a resource in mathematics education: Comparing teacher and student perspectives
Résumé
Time is a non-material resource important both for students and teachers because having time to teach and learn is a prerequisite for successful instruction. In spite of its importance, time as a resource is an underdeveloped field of study in mathematics education research. The study presented in this paper focuses on exploring time from two related perspectives: a mathematics teacher and her students. The study encompassed their experience with time in different aspects of mathematics education as well as the interactions of time with other resources. The findings indicated that the teacher and her students highly value time as a resource, and their views and experiences of time correspond in many aspects. Well-designed and extensive teacher lesson plans affected the efficient use of student time, particularly time-consuming activities such as teamwork and problem solving.
