This study examined potential bias with respect to perceived gender and race in pre-service teachers’ professional noticing of children’s mathematical thinking. The goal of the study was to explore emerging connections between professional noticing and equity concerns in mathematics education and discover the extent to which such noticing may be influenced by a student’s race and gender. A sample of 151 preservice teachers participated, and our findings suggest that bias tends to emerge in the interpreting phase of professional noticing; however, such emergence was not statistically significant when compared across the perceived race and gender of the students.more » « less

Teacher noticing and related variants have ascended in prominence among the mathematics education research community. While the component processes of such noticing (e.g., attending, interpreting and deciding) have been cast as interrelated, capturing the relationships amongst the components has been more elusive. We focused on the component processes of teacher noticing with particular attention given to interrelatedness. Specifically, we were interested in how and the extent to which the component processes of professional noticing (attending, interpreting, deciding) are thematically connected when preservice elementary teachers are engaged in an assessment approximating professional noticing. We refer to this thematic linkage in this paper as coherence. Our findings suggest a complex interplay between the creation and continuation of themes when enacting professional noticing, and the quality of such noticing.more » « less

Olanoff, D.; Johnson, K.; & Spitzer, S. (Ed.)In this paper, we describe the theory guiding the development of microlearning modules connecting noticing and equity in mathematics. Gutiérrez’s (2009) four dimensions of equity framework is used to inform the modules. The professional noticing of children’s mathematical thinking (Jacobs, Lamb, & Philipp, 2010) is also woven into the module development. We analyze data from preservice elementary teachers’ ideas about equity and responses to a video to inform our project and discuss the importance of making equity explicit in mathematics methods courses. Results indicate that preservice elementary teachers’ ideas of equity primarily fall into the dominant axes of access and achievement, but also show evidence of the critical axes of identity and power in responses to the classroom video.more » « less
