Changes in Frame Processes as Preservice Teachers Engage in Video Case Analysis

Mathematics Education Doctoral Program graduate and current Mathematics Department research associate Dr. Victoria Bonaccorso, along with faculty member Dr. Joseph DiNapoli, recently presented research findings at the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators annual conference in New Orleans, LA. Their session was entitled Changes in Frame Processes as Preservice Teachers Engage in Video Case Analysis and stems from research in Dr. Bonaccorso’s MATH 370 class she took in Spring 2021 for preservice mathematics teachers. In this session, they provided an overview of preservice teacher learning through intentional facilitation of video case studies. Furthermore, they discussed the skills preservice teachers learned through their engagement with a version of the Analyzing Instruction in Mathematics Using the TRU Framework (AIM-TRU) professional development model specifically designed for future teachers, and also how other mathematics teacher educators can help their preservice teachers develop similar skills in their local context. Great work Drs. Bonaccorso and DiNapoli!
