The purpose of this study is to investigate a junior high school mathematics teacher’s conjecturing-inquiry teaching practice by means of the grounded theory. This is a longitudinal panel study over one academic semester. The qualitative data collected from videotaping of teaching practice, in-depth interviews, after-class discussion, and teacher’s reflection. In addition, the coding categories and the story line of research results were constructed accordingly by open coding, axial coding, and the constant comparative method of analysis. The results reveal that the teacher initiates the conjecturing-inquiry teaching with strategies of specialising, systematising, generalising and analogy. Further teacher applies analytic scaffolding to help students to justifying and refuting the validity of results of generalizing and pattering, which combined with teacher’s personal mathematical proficiency and the guidance of mathematical concept and procedure. Finally, the consistent conclusion was formulated from whole class discussion, interpretation, examination, and induction. |
