Exploring iconic interpretation and mathematics teacher development through clinical simulations

Using a Simulation to Teach Reading Assessment to Preservice Teachers

“…Although simulations are limited in popularity, there is some literature about using simulations in various content areas of preservice teacher education. Simulations have been used in preservice physical education classes (Baghurst, ), science (Gonczi, Chiu, Maeng, & Bell, ), social studies (Brkich & Newkirk, ), mathematics (Dotger, Masingila, Bearkland, & Dotger, ), for teaching mathematics to English language learners (de Oliveira, ), and for job search skills (Mosier, Heidorn, & Johnson, ).…”

Teacher Moments: an online platform for preservice teachers to practice parent-teacher conversations

“…In 2007, Professor Benjamin Dotger began adapting clinical simulations for training future teachers and school leaders to be better prepared to handle common problems of practice (Dotger, Masingila, Bearkland, & Dotger, 2015) . In his book I Had No Idea: Clinical Simulations for Teacher Development (Dotger, 2013), Dotger presents scenarios that address challenging conversations with parents, an opportunity few preservice teachers experience during their preparation (Korthagen & Kessels, 1999).…”

“…Dotger and colleagues recruit and train professional actors to play the role of a standardized individual (i.e., parent or student) in the simulations (Dotger, 2013;Dotger et al, 2015) . By standardized individual, we mean that multiple actors are trained to embody a specific individual in a consistent manner for all participants of a simulation (Dotger, 2015).…”

“…Dotger and colleagues recruit and train professional actors to play the role of a standardized individual (i.e., parent or student) in the simulations (Dotger, 2013;Dotger et al, 2015) . By standardized individual, we mean that multiple actors are trained to embody a specific individual in a consistent manner for all participants of a simulation (Dotger, 2015). Each standardized individual receives an outline of the conversation with specific "verbal triggers" designed to focus conversation on a specific topic during the simulation, and these triggers serve as points of reference in the debrief (Dotger, 2013).…”

Investigación en educación matemática : [actas del XXI Simposio de la Sociedad Española de Investigación en Educación Matemática : Zaragoza, 6-9 de septiembre de 2017]

“…Sin embargo, en la literatura parece no existir una herramienta consensuada para la evaluación de competencias. Algunos autores se inclinan por el uso de portfolios (Seckel y Font, 2016), videoclips (Hatch, Shuttleworth, Jaffee y Marri, 2016), o simulaciones (Dotger, Masingila, Bearkland y Dotger, 2015). Otro enfoque recurrente en la literatura es la evaluación de competencias a partir de las percepciones del propio profesorado en formación (Serrano y Pontes, 2015;.…”
