초록

The study reported here is the Australian component of an international research project which seeks to identify student-reported convictions co-valued by them and their teachers during moments of effective mathematics learning. The 2 teachers and their 12 students in the 2 primary school classes associated effective moments of learning with 13 different values. No gender difference was apparent. Although the teachers planned their lessons together and were teaching similar topics, there were differences in what were co-valued. Of the 13 values, examples, sharing, resources, and multi modal representations were found to be commonly valued by students across the 'ability' groups, while the others related to particular 'ability' groups only.
