Design, Validation and Dissemination of Measures of Content Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics

该提案旨在制定和验证教师数学知识的衡量标准。 该建议有三个部分。 在第一部分中，研究者将开发新的措施，教师的知识，小学高年级和初中代数，几何和教师的能力，解释学生的代数思维。 在第二部分中，他们将通过访谈和观察教师，数学家和非教学专业人员来验证现有的数学知识教学措施。在第三部分中，他们将制定一项战略，支持中小企业使用这些工具。

This proposal seeks to develop and validate measures of teacher's knowledge of mathematics. The proposal has three parts. In the first part, the researchers will develop new measures of teachers' knowledge of upper elementary and middle-grade algebra, geometry and teachers' ability to interpret student thinking in algebra. In the second part, they will validate existing measures of mathematics knowledge for teaching by conducting interviews and observing teachers, mathematicians and non-teaching professionals. In the third part, they will develop a strategy for supporting MSPs in the use of these instruments.
