Assesment of pedagogical content knowledge for teaching elementary mathematics

Integrating pedagogical content knowledge and pedagogical/psychological knowledge in mathematics

In teacher education at universities, general pedagogical and psychological principles are often treated separately from subject matter knowledge and therefore run the risk of not being applied in the teaching subject. In an experimental study (N = 60 mathematics student teachers) we investigated the effects of providing aspects of general pedagogical/psychological knowledge (PPK) and pedagogic...

Developing Effective Mathematics Teaching: Assessing Content and Pedagogical Knowledge, Student-Centered Teaching, and Student Engagement

The Mathematics Teacher Transformation Institutes (MTTI) program attempts to develop math teacher leaders in part by providing content, inquiry and leadership courses aimed at making them more effective teachers. We assessed progress by observing teacher leaders’ teaching practices, and encouraging them to introduce or extend student‐ centered pedagogy in their classrooms. We found there was li...

Elementary Teachers’ Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics: A Review

The objective of this review is to provide a clear interpretation and implication of the research for policymakers and researchers who are interested in elementary teachers’ knowledge for teaching mathematics.

The Enactment of Mathematics Content Knowledge and Mathematics Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Teaching Practice of Ratio and Proportion: A Case of Two Primary

This study draws upon a research in investigating the enactment of primary teachers’ mathematics Content Knowledge (MCK) and Mathematics Pedagogical Content Knowledge (MPCK) in practice. The teaching on ratio and proportion of two teachers with different level MCK and MPCK were observed within video observation framework which involves qualitative research through case study. The result indicat...
