This study investigated elementary teachers’professional growth with respect to mathematics instruction as they developed a culture-based mathematics curriculum. A case study approach was adopted, and a Co-Learning Inquiry Community was employed to collaboratively develop the curriculum. The findings of this study reveal that after completing the curriculum development process, participating teachers’instructional perspectives shifted from teacher-centered to student-centered and from an emphasis on operational proficiency to conceptual understanding. When the culture-based mathematics curriculum was implemented, the teachers incorporated more open-ended questions and focused on students’reasoning and comprehension. This study demonstrated that teachers are more engaged in curriculum development when a collaborative inquiry approach is employed, and such an approach can effectively enhance teachers’professional development in mathematics teaching. |
