Resumen de How do teachers adopt autonomous problem solving as a classroom practice?

Rachel Zaks, Boris Koichu

  • Autonomous student problem solving is still rare in mathematics classes, and its incorporation in lessons requires profound knowledge and readiness of the teacher. In this paper we present a study conducted in the context of a professional development course aimed to enhance 12 teachers’ readiness to create opportunities for students’ autonomous problem solving. We characterize processes that the teacher-participants went through and report the extent to which the course achieved its goals. Based on qualitative and quantitative data, we offer a conceptual framework for characterizing the adoption processes and argue for the feasibility of the desirable change in the teacher readiness to adopt problem-solving instruction.
