The purpose of the CSA was to exami

The purpose of the CSA was to examine the types of
connections prospective middle grades teachers’ make
between various mathematical concepts, definitions, and
problems. Participants were asked to complete a repeated
single criterion open card sort and closed card sort
(Fincher & Tenenberg, 2005; Rugg & McGeorge, 2005).
In the closed card sort, five particular pairs were chosen
based on national recommendations (CBMS, 2001;
NCTM, 2000, 2006) for what middle school teachers and
students should know and be able to do. The cards chosen
were also influenced by content from the reform middle
school curriculum textbook series Connected Mathematics
2: Grade 6, 7, and 8 (Lappan, Fey, Fitzgerald, Friel, &
Phillips, 2006) and three university mathematicians.
For the open card sort, participants sorted the cards
based on a single criterion: their perceived notion of how
the statements on the cards were connected. The
researcher developed a protocol of interview questions
for both the open and closed card sorts that focused on
students’ mathematical connections. The design of the

Tujuan dari CSA adalah untuk memeriksa jenis
koneksi make calon nilai tengah guru
antara berbagai konsep-konsep matematika, definisi, dan
masalah. Peserta diminta untuk menyelesaikan berulang
semacam tunggal kriteria kartu terbuka dan semacam kartu tertutup
. (Fincher & Tenenberg, 2005; Rugg & McGeorge, 2005)
Dalam semacam kartu tertutup, lima pasang tertentu yang dipilih tersebut
berdasarkan rekomendasi nasional (SPKM, 2001;
NCTM, 2000, 2006) untuk apa guru sekolah menengah dan
mahasiswa harus tahu dan mampu melakukan. Kartu yang dipilih
juga dipengaruhi oleh konten dari reformasi tengah
sekolah seri kurikulum buku teks Terhubung Matematika
2: Grade 6, 7, dan 8 (Lappan, Fey, Fitzgerald, Friel, &
. Phillips, 2006) dan tiga matematikawan universitas
Untuk kartu terbuka semacam, peserta diurutkan kartu
berdasarkan satu kriteria: gagasan mereka dirasakan bagaimana
laporan pada kartu yang terhubung. The
peneliti mengembangkan protokol pertanyaan wawancara
untuk kedua jenis kartu terbuka dan tertutup yang berfokus pada
koneksi matematika siswa. Desain
