Talking about teaching: Social networks of instructors of undergraduate mathematics
Page: 515
The RUME community has focused on students’ understandings of and experiences with mathematics. This project sheds light on another part of the higher education system – the departmental culture surrounding undergraduate mathematics instruction. This paper reports on the interactions of members of a single mathematics department, centered on their conversations about undergraduate mathematics instruction. Social network analysis of this group sheds important light on the informal structure of the department.
