Abstract

This paper reports on a study of nine middle-grades mathematics teachers' interpretations of a novel representation of practice that featured students' perceptions of the classroom learning environment for a given lesson. Based on a sequential qualitative analysis of interview data, we found that teachers' interpretations of students' perceptions (1) tended to open opportunities for future inquiry about instructional decisions and (2) provided insight into teachers' current pedagogical commitments, specifically their current instructional visions and views of the students' capabilities. Implications for professional learning are discussed.
