Study Notes
- Objectives: By the end of this session, one should be able to identify and explain the six components of the model and explain what is expected of the teacher in the mathematics classroom.
Components of Shulman's Model of Pedagogical Reasoning
- Comprehension is the first step in teaching.
- It includes understanding the purposes, subject matter structures, and ideas within and outside the discipline.
- Teachers need to understand what they teach and how they understand it in several ways.
- Understanding the purpose of teaching is crucial for the teacher
- Teaching mathematics, in particular, aims to help students gain mathematics literacy, enable them to use and enjoy their learning experiences, enhance their responsibility to become caring people, teach them to believe and respect others, and contribute to the well-being of their community.
- It also provides students with the opportunity to learn how to inquire and discover new information, develop broader understandings of new information, and develop necessary skills and values to function in a free and just society.
Transformation
- Transformation: The key to distinguishing the knowledge base of teaching is at the intersection of content and pedagogy.
- This is the teacher's capacity to transform content knowledge into pedagogically powerful forms that are adaptive to student abilities and backgrounds.
- Comprehended must be transformed in some manner to be taught.
- Transformations require some combination or ordering of processes.
