Visualizing mathematical connections in student teaching episodes

This poster aims to present a modified version of SPOT diagrams (Structure Perceived Over Time) (Yoon, 2012) – an aspect of analysis and data presentation used to present interactive student video data, during which perceptual shifts may occur. The larger study in which this tool was employed (Champney, in preparation) explored undergraduate calculus students’ self-generated representations (SGR) used during interviews in which they were asked to explain to an absent peer the events of the day(s) during which infinite series were introduced and discussed. While typical studies ask students to address tasks and issues framed by a researcher, this study instead asked students to explain the content, thereby providing a broader window into “what counts” from the student perspective.
