Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate elementary school teachers'concern and implementation of differentiated instruction of mathematics. To achieve the purpose, this study applied measurements of CBAM, including Stages of Concern Questionnaire and Innovation Configurations Checklist, to 133 elementary school teachers. The results indicated that most teachers were in awareness stage, which meant they had little concern on differentiated mathematics instruction. As well as, analysis on innovation configurations revealed that b and c variation, each referred to fidelity to and deviance from national curriculum standard relatively, were dominant in their instruction. Based on the results, the study suggested implications on future policies and teacher training for differentiated mathematics instruction.
