Go back   Title: Evaluation of a large scale professional development program Type: For the conference PME41, The 41st Conference of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Singapore, 17-22 July, 2017 Fulltext:   pdf-document (360 kB)   Abstract: This paper reports on a part of an evaluation of the professional development program (PDP) Boost for Mathematics in Sweden. Around 200 mathematics lessons were observed, and the teachers were interviewed after each lesson. The findings indicate that the PDP has had a significant impact on the teachers’ knowledge about the mathematical competencies as they are presented in the national curriculum documents, and that the teaching practice had improved and now gives the students better possibilities to develop the competencies. The results also show that these improvements are still present one year after the program had ended.
