Edward C. Nolan – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2025
Teacher questioning impacts the level of student thinking that occurs during mathematical instruction. It is important to investigate how questioning is developed in secondary mathematics methods classes so that these environments can support the development effective questioning strategies. This article explores how two preservice teachers use…

Mi Yeon Lee; Ji-Eun Lee – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
The aim of this study was to examine how pre-service teachers performed in tasks related to three specific aspects of curricular noticing. The participants completed a two-part written task in which they solved three pattern generalization problems and sequenced them for teaching purposes. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the…

Amy Ray; Julie Herron – School Science and Mathematics, 2024
In our mathematics methods courses for elementary preservice teachers, we work to uncover and confront students' understandings as well as misconceptions about important mathematical topics. Karp and colleagues' ("Teaching Children Mathematics", 21(1), 18-25) "13 Rules That Expire" article has been a useful resource for us to…

Bacak, Julie – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Facilitating productive mathematical discussions is considered a core practice of mathematics education. The complexity of this teaching practice presents the need for pedagogical tools to provide structure for preservice teachers (PST) developing their practice, yet little is known about "how" PSTs use these tools. This multiple case…

Patricia L. Marshall; Jonee Wilson – Urban Education, 2025
Among the most urgent matters in contemporary education discourses are those that delve into the justice issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Colleges of Education are critical sites for such discourse. In particular, the teaching methods course is where candidates are to acquire tools to take up such issues. Success of justice…

Peter Francis Moon – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has great potential for enhancing mathematics and science lessons in K-12 education. Numerous studies demonstrate that under the right circumstances, CT integration in math and science can improve student learning and promote deeper understanding. However, teacher education currently does not include preparation for…

Goyer, Alysia – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Algebraic thinking is an essential component of the K-12 mathematics curriculum. Early algebra focuses on the overall numeric structure (Kaput, 2008; Kieran,2018; Kieran et al., 2016) which focuses on the noticing of arithmetic patterns leading to generalizations supported by justification, reasoning and justifications (Blanton, 2008; Blanton et…

Dawn Teuscher; Tenille Cannon; Sharon Christensen – School Science and Mathematics, 2023
The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators recommends that well-prepared beginning mathematics teachers apply their understanding of mathematics, curriculum, pedagogy, student learners, and social constructions to facilitate mathematics learning for all students. Using the context of a secondary methods course, where prospective mathematics…

Dilek Girit Yildiz; Esila Müftüoglu – Turkish Journal of Education, 2025
The aim of this study is to reveal and evaluate the attending and interpreting skills of student thinking of prospective teachers, as well as their instructional suggestions as responding skills. The current study was conducted with 29 prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) within a qualitative design in the context of probability. First, three…

Erik Jacobson – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2024
This study used units coordination as a theoretical lens to investigate how whole number and fraction reasoning may be related for preservice teachers at the conclusion of a math methods class. The study contributes quantitative evidence that units coordination provides a common foundation for both mathematical knowledge for teaching whole number…

Mi Yeon Lee; Ji-Eun Lee – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigated how 155 pre-service teachers solved three pattern generalization problems in a two-part written test and sequenced them for teaching purposes to demonstrate their curricular noticing. Participants' solutions were analyzed using inductive content analysis, which showed that only 8.4% of PSTs produced correct answers to all…

Tugba Horzum; Burçak Boz-Yaman – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2024
The aim of this research is to examine preservice mathematics teachers' dispositions toward drawing geometric patterns in tasks and find out their perspectives on using these tasks for their future students. Sixty preservice mathematics teachers who enrolled in a methods course for 14 weeks participated in the research. The responses to the…

Lauren Barth-Cohen; Tracy E. Dobie; José F. Gutiérrez; Rachel Carlsruh; Kevin Greenberg – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
This study investigates how preservice elementary teachers (PSTs) engage and reflect on two science disciplinary practices: engaging with representations and engaging in evidence-based arguments. In the context of elementary science, teachers blend multiple practices across curricular topics and instruction. However, studies of teachers' use of…

Alicia Erwin; Matthew Winsor – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigated the effect of teaching rehearsals on 22 preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) who were in their first mathematics pedagogy course. The objective of the teaching rehearsal was to introduce PSMTs to student-centered teaching. PSMTs worked in groups to complete a learning cycle consisting of analyzing a mathematics…
