dc.description.abstract | This paper documents efforts to develop an instrument to measure mathematical knowledge for teaching high school geometry (MKT-G). We report on the process of developing and piloting questions that purported to measure various domains of MKT-G. Scores on a piloted set of items had no statistical relationship with total years of experience teaching, but all domain scores were found to have statistically significant correlations with years of experience teaching high school geometry. Other interesting relationships regarding teachers’ MKT-G scores are also reported. We use these results to propose a way of conceptualizing how instruction specific considerations might matter in the design of MKT items. In particular, we propose that the instructional situations that are customary to a course of studies, can be seen as units that organize much of the mathematical knowledge for teaching such course. | en_US |
