Informal Approach

One of the competencies for mathematics teachers that needs to be developed continuously is professional competence. However, even if efforts for developing teachers’ competencies have been made formally by the government, it seems still lacking. This study, therefore, aims to develop mathematics teacher professional competencies through an informal development model using social media. This research used a qualitative method, a case study design, involving 19 mathematics teachers from various regions in Indonesia in the informal development process in the range of 2019-2021. The informal approach was carried out using question-and-answer techniques and guided discussions on mathematical problems. From the teacher development processes, 30 mathematics problems and their solutions were collected. As an illustration of this development process, this article presents five problems and their solutions, including solutions for two mathematics problems on conceptual understanding and three mathematics problems on problem-solving. We conclude that this informal approach is fruitful in helping mathematics teachers solve mathematics problems. This study implies that the teacher development process carried out in this study can be used as a model for informal teacher development by other higher education academics in their respective places.

Mathematics Problem

Posing mathematics problem is perceived as one of the learning strategies to promote students’ skills in mathematics problem-solving as well as one of the crucial competencies that should be mastered by prospective mathematics teachers. Some people argued that for prospective mathematics teachers, posing mathematics problem itself is as important as solving mathematics problem because when they become mathematics teachers, there exist necessity for them to pose mathematics problem as a means for assessing students’ understanding or achievement. The aim of this article, therefore, was to focus on the investigation into the prospective mathematics teachers’ ability in posing mathematics problems. Relevant literature from several electronic databases such as SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar was searched based on the following keywords: ‘pre-service mathematics teacher’, ‘problem-posing’, ‘prospective mathematics teacher problem-posing’, and ‘posing mathematics problem’. There was a total of 16 articles which were included into this review according to the determined inclusion criteria as follow: an empirical study that was published in journal or conference proceeding with the publication date from years of 2009 to 2019, written in English, full text, and discussing about prospective mathematics teachers’ ability in posing problem-related to mathematics. There were as many as three themes that deal with the prospective mathematics teachers’ ability to pose the mathematics problem, i.e. type of posed problem, ability in posing mathematics problem, and the difficulty which was experienced by prospective mathematics teachers in posing mathematics problem. These three themes and their implications are discussed in this article.Kemampuan calon guru matematika dalam mengajukan masalahAbstrakPengajuan masalah matematika dapat dianggap sebagai salah satu strategi pembelajaran untuk mengembangkan keterampilan siswa dalam memecahkan masalah matematika serta sebagai salah satu kompetensi yang penting yang seharusnya dikuasai oleh calon guru matematika. Beberapa orang berpendapat bahwa untuk calon guru matematika, mengajukan masalah matematika itu sama pentingnya dengan memecahkan masalah matematika karena ketika mereka menjadi guru matematika, ada suatu keharusan bagi mereka untuk mengajukan masalah matematika sebagai saran untuk menilai pemahaman atau pencapaian siswa. Tujuan artikel ini, oleh karena itu, adalah untuk fokus pada penyelidikan kemampuan calon guru matematika dalam mengajukan masalah matematika. Literatur yang relevan dari beberapa basis data elektronik seperti SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, ResearchGate, dan Google Scholar dicari berdasarkan kata kunci berikut: ‘pre-service mathematics teacher’, ‘problem-posing’, ‘prospective mathematics teacher problem-posing’, dan ‘posing mathematics problem’.

Teacher Professional

Implementing effective professional development (PD) programs can help teachers in developing their knowledge and skills to enhance students learning in the classroom. However, professional development (PD) programs conducted been seen as less helpful for teachers in developing their potential in teaching mathematics. Therefore, a systematic literature review was undertaken to report on the programs of professional development (PD) for mathematics teachers. This review aimed to explore the professional development (PD) programs for mathematics teacher and teacher components of an effective professional development (PD) in the empirical studies. This systematic review utilized 40 research articles from 2015 to 2020 as data from which such data were obtained from databases such as Google Scholar, ERIC, and Springer. The findings show that the mathematics teacher professional development (PD) programs been used to give an impact on teacher attitudes and practices in terms of classroom teaching practices, student learning outcomes, and teacher knowledge and skills. In addition, teachers' factors for an effective professional development (PD) program can be classified into several parts: 1) motivation, 2) attitude, 3) commitment, and 4) self-efficacy. This study is essential to strengthening the competencies of mathematics teachers based on the best model of professional development in line with current educational needs.

Future Work

Mathematics teacher coaching is a promising but largely overlooked form of professional development (PD) for supporting mathematics teachers’ learning of justice-oriented teaching. In this article, we critically review the literature to illuminate what we currently know about mathematics teacher coaching and to highlight studies’ contributions and limitations to inform future work. Broadly, we find that four programs of research have developed, investigating: (a) coaches’ activities and relationships, (b) the effects of coaching on student assessment scores, (c) the effects of coaching on teachers’ practices or behaviors, and (d) the effects of coaching on teachers’ knowledge or beliefs. From this analysis, we argue that justice-oriented perspectives of teaching, in tandem with sociocultural theories of teachers’ learning, could allow for more nuanced investigations of coaching and could support design of learning experiences for teachers that bring us closer to educational justice.

PurposeKnowledge of the management issues for developing new bank offerings efficiently is limited. Furthermore, recent research suggests that organisational learning can contribute greatly to the success of innovation projects. The aims of this paper are to provide a detailed description of the development process of a new financial product and to identify learning actions that may contribute to its effectiveness.Design/methodology/approachReports findings from a qualitative, longitudinal case study of a well‐known French bank.FindingsThe results revealed an informal development process consisting of a sequence of issues to solve and decisions to make.Research limitations/implicationsThough observations fit with the theoretical model, the findings cannot be generalized due to the use of a qualitative methodology. Thus, selecting a development project that brings variance to the scope and degree of innovativeness could enrich the observed learning mechanisms. Second, as services are very heterogeneous, further research should be done on the development processes of different new services, for example standardised versus customised. Third, mechanisms of adoption or avoidance of learning procedures remain to be explored extensively. Understanding the reasons of choice and adoption of learning strategies according to the environment and nature of the project could lead to further managerial recommendations.Practical implicationsImplications for banks to encourage learning during innovation are discussed and several opportunities for further research are suggested.Originality/valueAn informal development process is revealed, consisting of a sequence of issues to solve and decisions to make. Multiple learning actions and strategies are identified that enhance process effectiveness and efficiency.

Abstract The paper is based on analysis of international literature on school teacher appraisal and professional development.  Teacher appraisal is a very important area of study, and traditionally it has been quite a contested field as well.  Teachers used to feel tension and anxiety due to unfair teacher appraisal, and they often reacted to teacher appraisal with resentment and nervousness.  Historically, teacher teacher appraisal was aimed to inform the issues and training considerations in education during the decades of the seventies and was establish to exercise greater accountability to maintain a high standard in education. However, eventually the developmental purpose had been emphasized. This paper presents rich literature on teacher appraisal and teacher development concepts. Abstrak Artikel ini berdasarkan analisis literatur internasional pada penilaian guru sekolah dan pengembangan profesional. Penilaian guru merupakan bidang kajian yang sangat penting, dan sudah menjadi bidang kajian yang cukup sering diperdebatkan.
