Friesen, Marita Eva; Kuntze, Sebastian – Research in Mathematics Education, 2020
Using multiple representations and changing between them is at the heart of the mathematics classroom; unconnected changes can, however, be obstructive for students' learning. In order to support students' learning with multiple representations, teachers have to link observed situation aspects with relevant professional knowledge, a competence we…

Burke, Margaret Meg Kathleen – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The research indicated effective mathematics teaching to be more complex than assuming the best predictor of student achievement in mathematics is the mathematical content knowledge of a teacher. This dissertation took a novel approach to addressing the idea of what it means to examine how a teacher's knowledge of mathematics impacts student…

Stiegelmeyer, Cindy – ProQuest LLC, 2012
This study surveyed 82 preservice elementary teachers using items from an instrument designed to predict student achievement based on a teacher's mathematics knowledge for teaching (MKT) in numbers and operations concepts. Additional mathematics beliefs items asked participants to rate their level of agreement with math myths and math anxiety…

Horzum, Mehmet Baris; Canan Gungoren, Ozlem – Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, 2012
One of the applications applied most nowadays is web based instruction (WBI). Although there are many studies on WBI, no study which researched the relations between beliefs for WBI, WBI tools acceptance levels and web pedagogical content knowledge (WPCK) of science and technology pre-service teachers was found among these studies. The aim of this…

Telese, James A. – Journal of Educational Research, 2012
Middle school mathematics teacher quality is questionable because the number of certified mathematics teachers considered highly qualified is low (Birman et al., 2009). The author examined Grade 8 data from the 2005 National Association of Educational Progress mathematics assessment. The purposes of the study were to (a) determine the impact of…

Alrasheedi, Hamed – ProQuest LLC, 2009
ICT integration into classroom teaching and learning practices depends on teachers' attitude toward ICT and the extent of their training in the technology. Early research suggests that males have more positive attitudes toward ICT and have more knowledge and skills about technology than females. Contemporary research, however, suggests that…
