Description

Introduction There are many recent studies which have explored the notion of high quality or effective mathematics teaching but relatively few have sought the views of students. Student perspectives regarding effective teaching are important for many reasons (Kane & Maw, 2005; White, Barnes, Lawson, & Johnson, 2009), and are arguably particularly significant in mathematics given the international trends of declining engagement and participation in this curriculum area (McPhan, Morony, Pegg, Cooksey & Lynch, 2008). Studies that have asked students to identify reasons for their disengagement from mathematics have found a lack of confidence with mathematics, a lack of understanding of mathematics, a lack of enjoyment of mathematics, and/or dissatisfaction with mathematics teaching to be major factors (Watt, 2004; Brown, Brown, & Bibby, 2008; McPhan et al., 2008; Nardi & Steward, 2003).
