Alignment between teachers' practices and pupils' attention in a spreadsheet environment

Abstract

The research reported here builds upon a body of literature that involves exploring the potential of technology to support the learning and teaching of algebra. More specifically, it focuses upon the interactions between teachers and 11-12 year old pupils during spreadsheet-based activity and identifies themes which account for variation in pupils’ longitudinal trajectories. This paper develops one of these themes, the construct of alignment, which describes the relationship between teachers’ practices and pupils’ focus of attention. A chain of episodes from a case study is used to illustrate the construct, which remains relatively stable over time.
