Elementary Preservice Teachers’ Coding and Perceptions of Questions Posed during Mathematics Practicum Lessons

Elaine Silva Mangiante and Kaitlin Gabriele-Black

Abstract:   Teacher education programs adopted alternative practicum field experiences for pre-service teachers (PSTs) during the COVID-19 pandemic when school placements were not available. One approach was for PSTs to teach each other, video-record their teaching, and code types of questions asked by the teachers. This mixed-methods study examined data from PSTs’ coding of their peers’ questions posed during fourth-grade mathematics lessons compared with the teacher educator’s coding of the same questions. Also, PSTs’ lesson reflections served as a data source for triangulation and a means to analyze PSTs’ learning from this task. The results indicated that PSTs coded questions more often as higher-order than the teacher educator. The findings also revealed the PSTs’ tendency to ask lower-order questions to gather recall or procedural information from students more than higher-order questions that probed students for an explanation or justification of their chosen strategies to solve a problem. Furthermore, the PSTs’ reflections showed that PSTs not only were surprised that so many posed questions were lower-order, but also felt that coding questions increased their awareness of question quality.
