Hu, Xueyan; Xu, Zhihong; Neshyba, Monica; Geng, Zihan; Turner, Rachel – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2021
While knowledge, attitudes and beliefs as well as skills are integrated parts of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) competency, few teacher education programmes have targeted the well-rounded CRT competency in all of these three aspects. Drawing on the conceptual framework of CRT competency and constructivist learning theory, the present study…

McIntyre, Ellen; Walkowiak, Temple; Thomson, Margareta; Carrier, Sarah; Lee, Carrie; Greive, Elizabeth; Zulli, Rebecca A.; Maher, Michael J.; DiFrancesca, Daniell – Teacher Education and Practice, 2013
To address shortfalls in the preparation and achievement of U.S. students in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), instruction in these areas must begin in the elementary grades, as early as kindergarten (American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, 2007; Natural Academy of Sciences, 2007; National Research…

Youngs, Peter; Qian, Hong – Journal of Teacher Education, 2013
In this article, we draw on survey data to investigate associations between Chinese elementary teaching candidates’ mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) and their experiences in mathematics courses, mathematics methods courses, and student teaching. In our study, we found that (a) Chinese teaching candidates' completion of courses in number…

Schneider, Jenifer Jasinski – Action in Teacher Education, 2015
In this article, the author explores her observations of preservice teachers' technological literacy as it is often enacted across iterations of a writing methods course. Using personal examples and classroom anecdotes, the author argues that the construct of "digital native" is flawed and, instead, the author positions preservice…

Eick, Charles J.; Stewart, Bethany – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2010
Dispositions supporting the teaching of science as structured inquiry by four elementary candidates are presented. Candidates were studied during student teaching based on their positive attitudes toward teaching science with reform-based materials in their methods course. Personal learning histories informed their attitudes, values, and beliefs…

Johnson, Tracy L. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This study examined pre-service teachers' development of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) over their final year in a university based teacher education program. This was done through analyzing written reflections, focus group interviews, individual interviews, teaching observations, and post-observation interviews as well as through the…

Ketelhut, Diane Jass; Newton, Kristie Jones – Urban Education Collaborative, 2011
As part of a grant-funded project, the authors have designed an alternative certification program, E = mc[superscript 2], funded by U.S. Department of Education under its Transition to Teaching Program. Before beginning their student teaching, participants conduct observations, interviews, tutoring, small group instruction, and isolated whole…

Faikhamta, Chatree; Coll, Richard K.; Roadrangka, Vantipa – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 2009
This study investigated the journey of four Thai pre-service chemistry teachers as they sought to develop their Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) throughout a PCK-based chemistry methods course and field experience. In an interpretive case study approach we drew upon classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, chemistry content knowledge…

Swars, Susan; Hart, Lynn C.; Smith, Stephanie Z.; Smith, Marvin E.; Tolar, Tammy – School Science and Mathematics, 2007
This study investigated the mathematics beliefs and content knowledge of 103 elementary pre-service teachers in a developmental teacher preparation program that included a two course mathematics methods sequence. Pre-service teachers' pedagogical beliefs became more cognitively-oriented during the teacher preparation program with these changes…

Marble, Stephen T. – Action in Teacher Education, 2006
This article describes the use of a lesson study approach to collaborative professional growth in an elementary science methods course. Preservice candidates designed and taught integrated science-mathematics lessons during the semester before their student teaching. Working in 8 teams of 3 student teachers, participants per team designed a common…

Madsen, Andrea J.; Olson, Joanne K. – Journal of Elementary Science Education, 2005
Understanding how people learn is the foundation of informed teaching, yet it is difficult for teachers to articulate and effectively use. This study investigated how two preservice teachers' conceptions of learning theories transferred to their decisionmaking during student teaching. This paired-sample case study examined Research-Based Framework…

Capraro, Robert M.; Capraro, Mary Margaret; Parker, Dawn; Kulm, Gerald; Raulerson, Tammy – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2005
This paper outlines the nexus between mathematics content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge in developing pedagogical content knowledge. Increasing expectations about what students should know and be able to do, breakthroughs in research on how children learn, and the increasing diversity of the student population have put significant pressure…
