Bristol Benjamin Meaker Distinguished Visiting Professor Signe E. Kastberg is a mathematics teacher educator at Purdue University in the USA and has been the Mary Endres Endowed Chair of Elementary Education since 2022. Professor Kastberg is collaborating with Dr Tracy Helliwell in the School of Education on Mathematics teacher educator design and implementation of instructional activities and practices for preservice teachers learning from experience.

Synopsis for seminar:

Intimate scholarship is growing in interest and is diversifying research methodologies and products in mathematics teacher education. Intimate scholarship provides first person accounts of learning to teach teaching. This talk will focus on methods and representations of becoming and learning from teaching using intimate scholarship drawing from a study of teacher educator certainty in professional change conducted with Dr. Helliwell of University of Bristol. This evidence will support a claim that practitioners who use intimate scholarship view knowing as dynamic and situated and choose to represent knowing through self-exploration.

Audience: Open seminar (Bristol Conversations in Education)
