Novice and Senior Mathematics Teachers: Any Differences ?
Fong Ho Kheong
Abstract: Novice and Senior Mathematics teachers’ lessons were observed and
video-taped. Their characteristic features of presentation of mathematics lessons
were analysed and coded. Their behavioral features were classified with reference
to two models: Mathematical Teaching Techniques (MIT) and Assessment of
Practicuum Teaching (APT) Teachings’ profiles of presentation were identified to
differentiate any differences between these two groups of teachers. Research results
show that Senior Mathematics teachers demonstrates more pedagogical features in
teaching mathematics.
