Databases for delivering pedagogical knowledge for teaching mathematics:The I Teach Math Example in Ontario, Canada.

摘要

Web-based resources promise to deliver content.We report on a prototype of a project, I Teach Math project, developed to deliver pedagogical content knowledge for teaching through problem-solving. Online resources are emerging to mitigate the limitations of the print medium.The online environment does offer an avenue of aiding teachers to observe exemplary teaching practices, a place to download and listen to video casts and an avenue for discussion and sharing ideas on teaching practices. It also offers a space to share and download examples that incorporate new technologies.We surveyed existing online projects to select 10 major players for a comparative analysis.The development of the I teach Mathematics project involved interviewing selected mathematics teachers on their favorite lessons.Interviews were video recorded.Annotated and illustrated video clips were used to design web pages that share exemplary pedagogical content knowledge for teaching through problem-solving.
