Understanding, Assessing and Developing Children's Mathematical Thinking: The Power of a One-to-One Interview for Preservice Teachers in Providing Insights into Appropriate Pedagogical Practices.
McDonough, Andrea; Clarke, Barbara; Clarke, Doug M.
International Journal of Educational Research, v37 n2 p211-26 2002
Studied the effectiveness of a teacher training approach in which preservice mathematics teachers conduct and analyze one-to-one mathematics assessment interviews with primary-aged children. Findings from interviews with five teachers and a focus group of six indicate teachers are more aware of the strategies children use including their variety and relative level of sophistication.
