assignment given by a fictional bright 12-year old girl by the name of Anna: “Dear
_________, I am Anna and new to your class. I would like to get to know your class
better. Draw two pictures of your mathematics lessons. The
first drawing should show
what your arithmetic lessons are like and how you view them. The second drawing
should show what your geometry lessons are like and how you view them. In each
drawing, include your teaching group, the teacher, and the pupils. Use
speech bubbles
and thought bubbles to describe conversation and thoughts. Mark the pupil that
represents you in the drawing by writing “ME”. Thank you and see you soon! Yours
Anna.” Here, only the second drawing is of relevance. After the students had finished
drawing, the drawings were used as a catalyst for a semi-structured
interview, as
suggested by Kearney and Hyle (
2004
). During the interview, both a free description
of the drawing on the part of the child were given (e.g., “Describe your picture to me.”)
and specific questions based on the child’s description were posed (e.g., “How does
the child 1, 2, etc. feel in the second drawing?”, “What is the reason for that?”).
