eric.ed.gov har udgivet: The purpose of this research is to determine pre-service mathematics teachers’ skills in the development of activities. The research was carried out using the case study which is descriptive method. For the collection of data, 57 pre-service mathematics teachers’ in their final year secondary math teachers’ education department attended the research. Pre-service teachers were asked to develop 5 activities for the concept of function a high school mathematics curricula. After obtaining the data, it was analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. The developed activities were first examined to see if they qualified as activities, which would be used in the learning process stage, and then examined to see which skills were reflected in the activities. The findings indicated that more than half of the pre-service teachers could… Continue Reading

sciencedirect.com – Improving preservice teachers’ noticing skills through technology-aided interventions in mathematics pedagogy courses

sciencedirect.com har udgivet: Highlights • Three technologies were used to develop three components of noticing expertise in mathematics pedagogy courses. • Three-point Framework including Key point, Difficult point, and Critical point was incorporated into technology intervention. • Effects of using Three-point framework along with technology on development of noticing expertise were assessed. • The goal of these interventions was to incorporate noticing expertise as a regular professional practice. Abstract This study investigated effects of employing the Three-point framework (Key Point, Difficult Point, Critical Point) and three technology-aided interventions (online discussions, clinical interviews, and graphic lesson plan construction) on developing preservice teachers’ noticing skills in elementary mathematics pedagogy courses. Pre- and post-intervention assessments revealed significant improvement in the treatment group’s scores, and two case studies illustrated how the interventions can help… Continue Reading
