  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Research in Mathematics Education ((RME))

Abstract

With the growing research base on teacher noticing has come a similar expansion of methodologies used to measure teacher noticing. The six chapters in this section reflect a range of methodologies, and this commentary is organized around three methodological considerations showcased in the chapters: (a) adoption of a conception of teacher noticing, (b) design of data-collection tools, and (c) choice of data analysis lenses.
