Enhancing Pre-service Teachers’ Professional Noticing Skills Through the Incorporation of Three-Point-Teacher-Noticing Matrix
摘要
This study examines the impact of integrating the Three-Point-Teacher-Noticing (TPTN) matrix into weekly video analysis assignments on pre-service teachers’ (PSTs’) noticing skills, which include the ability to observe, interpret, and respond to students’ thinking. The TPTN matrix comprises three components—key, difficult, and critical points—each aligned with the noticing skills of attending to, interpreting, and making decisions to guide PSTs in analyzing students’ thinking. Data from pre- and post-assessments and interviews were analyzed using rubrics and thematic techniques. Results indicate significant improvement in PSTs’ noticing skills after an 8-week use of the TPTN matrix. PSTs also highlighted its effectiveness in fostering reflective practice and adaptive teaching strategies. This research demonstrates the potential of innovative frameworks like the TPTN matrix to prepare future educators for complex classroom dynamics.
