Abstract

The purpose of this study was to introduce the Knowledge Quartet (KQ) framework by which we can analyze teacher knowledge revealed in teaching mathematics. Specifically, this paper addressed how the KQ framework has been developed and employed in the context of research on teacher knowledge. In order to make the framework accessible, this paper analyzed an elementary school teacher's knowledge in teaching her fifth grade students how to figure out the area of a trapezoid using the four dimensions of the KQ (i.e., foundation, transformation, connection, and contingency). This paper is expected to provide mathematics educators with a basis of understanding the nature of teacher knowledge in teaching mathematics and to induce further detailed analyses of teacher knowledge using some dimensions of the KQ framework.
