Löfström, Erika; Pursiainen, Tuomas – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2015
This study focuses on mathematics student teachers' epistemological beliefs in mathematics and education. The study aimed at gaining insight into the challenges that students experience in the consolidation of knowledge in the two disciplines. The case study with three mathematics pre-service teachers utilised mathematical and pedagogical…

Jansen, Amanda; Hohensee, Charles – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2016
The purpose of this study was to examine and elaborate upon elementary prospective teachers' (PSTs) conceptions of partitive division with fractions. We examined the degree to which PSTs' conceptions were connected (i.e., capable of translating between representations correctly; aware that partitive division generates a unit rate for its quotient)…

Bannister, Vanessa R. Pitts – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2014
The concept of multiple representations of functions and the ability to make translations among representations are important topics in secondary school mathematics curricula (Moschkovich, Schoenfeld, & Arcavi, 1993; NCTM, 2000). Research related to students in this domain is fruitful, while research related to teachers is underdeveloped. This…

Charalambous, Charalambos Y. – Journal of Teacher Education, 2016
Central in the frameworks proposed to capture the knowledge needed for teaching mathematics is the assumption that teachers need more than pure subject-matter knowledge. Validation studies exploring this assumption by recruiting contrasting populations are relatively scarce. Drawing on a sample of 644 Greek-Cypriots preservice and inservice…

Preciado-Babb, Paulino; Metz, Martina; Sabbaghan, Soroush; Davis, Brent – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2015
This study reports teachers' insights and challenges after one year of adopting a curricular material designed to move students through carefully engineered, small steps and encourage learners through success and accessible challenges. The analysis of interviews showed that teachers 'followed' the material in different ways, not necessary in-line…

Morrison-Love, David – Global Education Review, 2014
The ability of pre-service teachers (PSTs) to transfer learning between subjects and contexts when problem solving is critical for developing their capability as technologists and teachers of technology. However, a growing body of literature suggests this ability is often assumed or over-estimated, and rarely developed explicitly within courses or…

Al-Omari, Wesal; Miqdadi, Ruba – International Education Studies, 2014
The purpose of this paper was to examine the perception pre-service teachers hold to the nature of the relationship between physics and mathematics. The study examined this relationship in reference to their performance in problem solving and strategies they used. The results of this empirical study suggested that most participants hold a naïve…

Izsak, Andrew; Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Cohen, Allan S.; Brown, Rachael Eriksen – Elementary School Journal, 2010
We report the development of a multiple-choice instrument that measures the mathematical knowledge needed for teaching arithmetic with fractions, decimals, and proportions. In particular, the instrument emphasizes the knowledge needed to reason about such arithmetic when numbers are embedded in problem situations. We administered our instrument to…
