This study aimed to explore in-service mathematical teachers' problem-solving ability through the discussion of teaching cases. The study was conducted in an elementary school and the data were collected from the interviews before and after the teaching cases, video recordings of the discussion, and the reflective journals were analyzed. The findings are as follows: the discussion of teaching cases enhanced the teachers' ability to define the teaching problems; the discussion model of problem-based teaching cases strengthened the teachers' problem solving ability; the process of segmented case discussion with focused teaching problems helped teachers to actively construct their professional knowledge; and the theme-based teaching cases enabled teachers to grasp the core concepts of each case and reinforced their professional competence of systematic teaching. The study suggested that the core themes of teaching cases be systematically constructed. Secondly, long written case studies should be avoided, so the quality of discussion is not affected. Finally, the expository teaching habits of some participant teachers could change into guided teaching mode so the further case studies are investigated to verify the underlying factors. |
