How Could Mathematics Teachers Know Complexity Inquiry?

Abstract

In order to provide a transforming way of knowing for teachers’ professional learning, this paper uses narrative to present the knowledge emerging from teachers as participants in a concept study derived from complexity science. There are three components in the narrative: what knowledge emerged from concept study; what has been changed for the emerged knowledge; and where we are going with complexity. The narrative provides not only a lived example but a framework for the action towards the transforming way of knowing for teachers’ professional learning.
