Biography

Min-Joung Kim is an Assistant Professor of Education specializing in Mathematics Education. Her research focuses supporting teachers to conduct learning progression centered instruction. This entails supporting teachers to develop their mathematical content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge about students’ ways of thinking about mathematical ideas. Particularly, she pursues these interests in the context of formative assessment practices. In addition, she is interested in studying students’ ways of thinking about mathematical concepts and learning trajectories because they provide resources for further supporting teaching.
