Preservice Mathematics Teachers

A great deal has been written about mentoring and its positive effects on the development of important teaching skills. By focusing on mentors for preservice mathematics teachers, this work fills a gap in that literature, complementing related publications on mentoring beginning and experienced mathematics teachers. This resource is designed to support mentors in bridging the gap between the theory of teaching and learning mathematics to the reality of the classroom environment. Its useful strategies and information will assist the mentor of preservice mathematics teachers in providing knowledgeable, informed, and supportive guidance.

Pre Service Teacher

Powerful and modern digital technologies have significantly impacted mathematics teaching – both what is to be learned and how it should be learned. Technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge (TPACK) is the knowledge that teachers rely on for teaching content with appropriate digital technologies. What preparation do mathematics teachers need in order to develop this knowledge needed for integrating appropriate digital technologies as teaching and learning tools? The challenges of understanding TPACK and identifying appropriate educational programs for pre-service mathematics teachers call for thoughtful attention toward the development of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that support the dynamic nature embedded within the TPACK construct. The design of appropriate pre-service teacher learning trajectories for developing a rigorous TPACK emphasizes that both how and where they learn to teach mathematics are fundamental to what is learned about teaching and learning mathematics. Redesign ideas and models support re-thinking and re-designing pre-service mathematics teacher preparation programs.

Perceptions Of Teaching

This study was carried out to investigate the perceptions of teaching and learning Mathematics by the pre-service Mathematics teachers in Bhutan. The research has employed quantitative methods. A five-point Likert scale survey questionnaire was administered to collect the data. The participants included both male and female pre-service Mathematics teachers from 2 colleges of education in Bhutan aged 18-29 (N = 261). In order to examine the perceptions of Mathematics, the mean interpretation developed by Roble and Bacabac (2016) was used and found that perceptions of pre-service teachers teaching and learning Mathematics were high indicating they enjoy teaching and learning Mathematics. The analysis also showed that there was no significant difference between male and female pre-service teachers perceptions toward teaching and learning Mathematics in Bhutan. Further, the findings also indicated there was no significant difference in perceptions of teaching and learning Mathematics between pre-service teachers at College A and College B. The College of Education might consider devoting additional attention to improving teaching practices in order to experience the real classroom scenario.

Cognitively Demanding Tasks

This study sought to understand how aspects of middle school mathematics teachers' knowledge and conceptions are related to their enactment of cognitively demanding tasks. The author found that teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching and conceptions of teaching and learning mathematics were contingent on one another and significantly related to teachers' enactment of cognitively demanding tasks.

This study aims to identify the implications of using the flipped classroom strategy in the primary school in teaching practices of mathematics classes of mathematics teachers and their students. This study used a qualitative approach. The sample of the study consists of (2) mathematics teachers in the primary school and (42) students from the sixth grade students. The study used the following tools: Teacher notebook, participant note, interview. The study used thematic analysis to analyze the data. The study reached a number of results, including: flipped classroom strategy contributed to the development of mathematical achievement, classroom interaction, the attitude towards teaching and learning mathematics. The flipped classroom strategy allowed teachers to take more of lesson ideas, use several strategies in the classroom, plan and prepare for the lesson. The study recommended: We need to train teachers to employ techniques in mathematics education, and to produce instructional videos for math lessons.

Prospective Mathematics Teachers

We know that teachers’ identities and their ideological assumptions of teaching and learning mathematics are critical in influencing their teaching and thinking about classroom practices. To better understand prospective mathematics teachers’ identity during teacher education, this study investigates how two participants negotiate their identity within the different ideologies they experience during their teacher education program. This study takes the position that prospective mathematics teachers’ identities are understood in terms of the narratives they construct and tell about themselves and others. By using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this study reveals that the participants either experienced a non-negotiation of identity or a negotiation of a new identity. We know that prospective mathematics schoolteacher’s identity and ideology have substantial consequences for the teaching and learning of mathematics. The educational ideology of mathematics, within the context of their teacher education program, can further shape the prospective teacher’s identity about the discipline. This study suggests greater focus on prospective mathematics teacher identities and ideologies and indicates the support they need through teacher education to be equipped for their future role as mathematics teachers.
