Teacher noticing in mathematics education: a review of recent developments

JWJonas WeyersJKJohannes KönigTSThorsten Scheiner

Key Points

  • The aim is to review recent developments in teacher noticing within mathematics education from 2019 to 2022.
  • Analyzed 118 English-language articles from peer-reviewed journals.
  • Focused on conceptualizations, research methods, and relationships with teacher knowledge and beliefs.
  • Identified trends in qualitative research and sample sizes used in studies.
  • Cognitive-psychological perspective is the main framework for understanding teacher noticing.
  • Most studies employed small samples and qualitative methods, limiting generalizability.
  • Connections between noticing, professional knowledge, and instructional quality are inadequately explored.

Abstract

Abstract The teacher noticing construct is widely recognized in teacher competence and education research, particularly in the field of mathematics education. This paper surveys recent research on mathematics teacher noticing published between July 2019 and 2022, following an earlier literature review on teacher noticing across different disciplines. The study presented here analyzed 118 English-language articles published in peer-reviewed journals, focusing on conceptualizations, research methods, and relationships with other constructs, including teacher knowledge and beliefs. The findings suggest that the cognitive-psychological perspective on noticing, which emphasizes a set of cognitive processes, remains the predominant conceptualization. Recent research on noticing is characterized by a high proportion of studies based on small samples and qualitative research methods. While several studies have demonstrated the interrelatedness of noticing and professional knowledge, the relationship between noticing and beliefs and between noticing and instructional quality has rarely been addressed. Based on these findings, we highlight noteworthy contributions and critical shortcomings, and suggest directions for future research.
