Researchers have approached to teacher change in different ways: as a learner, as a teacher, and as a colleague. This study aims to analyze teachers' pedagogical changes within the professionally collaborated training program supported with on-the-job visits in their teaching environments. Five elementary mathematics teachers were involved in the study which was organized as a longitudinal professional program aiming at teachers' classroom practices. By analyzing teaching practices and interviews through Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP), the results show that teachers had various characteristics in terms of enacting their pedagogical goals. The study concludes that sample classroom implementations and pedagogical discussions have impact on teachers' beliefs about putting pedagogical goals into practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
