Abstract

While there is a growing consensus that teacher experience matters, the process by which individual teachers improve from their experiences has received little emphasis. This study investigates secondary mathematics teachers' in-the-moment sense-making about their classroom experiences used to change instructional practices through point-of-view observations. It finds that teachers often use causal reasoning when they propose future changes to their teaching practice, and that this reasoning is complex.
