A Markov chain model in teachers’ decision making
Steve C. Perdikaris · International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology · 1992
We apply an ergodic Markov chain process to teachers’ decision making. Through this we succeed in giving a new approach to the teachers’ ‘behaviour’ in the decision‐making process and obtain a measure of teacher's ability as a decision maker in the process of asking questions in class. This measure may be helpful to the teacher of mathematics in developing a better questioning technique that will encourage his students to think in higher levels.
