John Ezaki; Jingxian Li; Yasemin Copur-Gencturk – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Teachers' knowledge of the subject matter is considered an important component of their expertise in teaching mathematics. Yet how teachers' understanding of one content area is related to other content areas has not been investigated in depth. We explored this question by investigating teachers' knowledge of two theoretically related areas: (1)…

Hea-Jin Lee; Hee-Jeong Kim; Hyungmi Cho – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2024
Teachers require support in developing the pedagogical skill of interpreting students' mathematical thinking and providing effective feedback that promotes learning. However, there is a lack of research assessing the quality of feedback based on teacher noticing in mathematics classes. This study analysed 20 preservice teachers' (PSTs) feedback…

Spangenberg, Erica Dorethea – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2021
Although trigonometry is an important section in secondary school mathematics curricula, many teachers find it challenging to teach as a result of insufficient pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Therefore, the aim of this article was to report on how PCK on trigonometry manifests itself in teachers' practice. This exploratory case study was…
