Collaborative Research Engagement for Mathematics Teaching=20
Development:  A Framework
for Analysis and Design

Over many years I have become convinced that mathematics teachers'
engagement in classroom research or enquiry is one of the best ways of
developing thinking about mathematics teaching and ultimately developing
teaching itself.  I am interested particularly in collaborative
relationships between insider and outsider researchers and ways in which
these contribute to knowledge in teaching at theoretical and practical
levels.  I am developing a framework for analysing ways in which research
and collaboration contribute to development, both as a means of analysing
the contribution of research and collaboration and for designing future
projects.  I will outline this framework and the theoretical ideas behind
it, and just start to show how it might apply to real projects.  I invite
critical feedback.

Disseminating research to teachers

Brief synopsis: Based on the premise that modern technology provides=20
a powerful medium for providing access to a substantial amount of=20
material in a flexible and autonomous way, ICT provides an ideal=20
opportunity for disseminating research to users in the classroom.=20
This seminar will outline the development and evaluation of a CD=20
intended for individuals and groups to use as a resource for=20
information in developing their practice.

The CD consists of video sequences showing reception age children=20
undertaking tasks relating to 3D shapes and some teacher=20
interventions where they found the tasks challenging. It also=20
includes animations to make some of the content more explicit.
