Folger, Timothy D.; Stewart, Maria; Bostic, Jonathan; May, Toni A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2022
Problem solving is a central focus of mathematics teaching and learning. If teachers are expected to support students' problem-solving development, then it reasons that teachers should also be able to solve problems aligned to grade level content standards. The purpose of this validation study is twofold: (1) to present evidence supporting the use…

Nixon, Ryan S.; Smith, Leigh K.; Sudweeks, Richard R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Although widely touted as important, there is little evidence regarding the influence of teaching experience on elementary teachers' science subject matter knowledge (SMK). To better understand this phenomenon, we administered an assessment of science topics taught in the fifth and sixth grades to 169 preservice teachers, 231 fifth-grade teachers,…

Sears, Ruthmae – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2019
This article reports proof schemes used by pre-service mathematics teachers enrolled in third- and fourth-year mathematics education courses at a Midwestern university. Six pre-service teachers constructed proofs for mathematical conjectures and were subsequently interviewed. Using Harel and Sowder's (1998) proof schemes theoretical framework, the…

Background and Aims: The literature documents fewer classroom mastery goal structures in secondary school compared to elementary. However, little is known about how personal achievement goals may influence classroom goal structures. This is especially true at the level of pre-service teachers. Our objective was to investigate if pre-service…
