Conference PaperSecondary Mathematics Teachers’ Efforts to Engage Students through Academic and Social SupportJansen, A.Teachers' efforts to support students, both academically and socially, can play a role in how high school students productively engage with mathematics in the moment. To examine the connection between teacher support and student engagement, we conducted an exploratory mixed-methods study combining data from 20 high school classroom observations with student self-reports taken during the observed activity. Our findings indicate that when teachers provide academic support to their students during a lesson, they are also likely to provide social support. Higher teacher support of both kinds correlates with higher student self-efficacy, as well as social and cognitive engagement. Investigating relationships between observations of teaching and students' self-reports of engagement in-the-moment is a potentially revealing approach for uncovering engaging instructional strategies in secondary mathematics classrooms.2019-01-0110303229Proceedings of the 41st annual meeting of the North American Chapter for the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Educationhttps://doi.org/1661180National Science Foundation
