Résumé
This exploratory study is part of a larger study on assessment and teaching in mathematics classrooms in Irish prison education centers. Our purpose is to enhance knowledge in this field, to enhance practice and to enable better learning and teaching through research. We are using the Mathematics Teaching Triad (TT) theoretical construct for the study. This triad looks at Management of Learning (ML), Sensitivity to Students (SS) and Mathematical Challenges (MC). When finished, this research project will present data derived from a wider investigation, including data from teachers nationwide and data from prisoners attending mathematics classes. This paper analyses the data gathered from a survey on small sample of teachers, covering the time available for mathematics classes, class composition, teacher satisfaction and teacher’s identities through metaphor.
