MATHSMAPS FOR DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT WITH PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS: STORIES OF MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE

&
Pages 95-109 | Published online: 21 Apr 2008
 

Abstract

This paper reports an innovative assessment feedback tool - the mathsmap - and describes how two pre-service teachers made sense of this personalised diagnostic map to reflect on their own subject knowledge in mathematics. The mathsmap provided both a summative and a diagnostic profile of their attainment and errors across the mathematics curriculum required for teacher training. The use of the mathsmap to reflect learning on a personal level is seen to also provoke 'accounts' or 'stories' that might inform pedagogical content knowledge: in making their mathsmap comprehensible to themselves, the teachers needed to account for their own knowledge-troubles, that is, to narrate their metacognition.
