Abstract
-
Engaging students in a mathematics classroom can be a challenging process. With the variety of challenges students face daily, these challenges are factors that influence a student’s behavior and performance within the classroom. Humanistic Theory in the mathematics classroom allows teachers a framework with which to support their students through encouragement and building students’ motivation while continuing to teach mathematics on a daily basis.
The research I conducted focused on how I planned for the lessons I taught, the observational feedback given back to me from my university supervisor and two cooperating teachers, and my daily reflections from teaching days in my focus classroom. These observations are used as I use both quantitative and qualitative analysis to analyze my teaching practice, in my hope to become a better mathematics teacher.
