초록
The purpose of this study was to gain insight into how a prekindergarten teacher’s beliefs on readiness shaped how she adopted to a new mathematics teaching practice that was based on a play-based approach. The methodology used was based on a descriptive case study of a teacher named Marley, who participated in a two-year-professional development (PD), which focused on responsive early mathematics pedagogy by connecting play-based learning and early mathematics teaching. Findings highlighted that the environmentalist notions of readiness were dominant within Marley’s ideas and practices, and how Marley took up PD contents and the district’s mandated free play time were closely linked with her environmentalist notions of readiness.
