Larkin, Kevin; Jamieson-Proctor, Romina – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2013
This paper describes the use of transactional distance theory (TDT) as a conceptual framework to underpin the design and delivery of a fully online first-year mathematics education methods course to pre-service teachers. It identifies key issues evident in the mathematical literature concerning mathematics education in general and pre-service…

Howitt, Christine; Venville, Grady – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2009
Teacher educators are consistently challenged with the problem of how to construct more meaningful and relevant experiences within their science methods courses. The research presented in this paper addressed this problem on two levels. On a pedagogical level, the aim of the research was to capture the salient details about how one pre-service…

Afamasaga-Fuata'i, Karoline – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2009
This article presents data from a group of secondary pre-service teachers who used vee diagrams to illustrate their conceptual and methodological analyses of a problem, as part of a required mathematics methods course assignment. The individually constructed vee diagrams were analysed in terms of the extent to which they displayed principles and…

Strang, Kenneth David – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2011
Virtual learning is a popular teaching modality, and it has been reported in research that there is no significant difference in academic outcome as compared with face-to-face courses. Not all researchers agree with this assertion and some claim it is more difficult to teach math-oriented subjects online. Given that educational psychology theories…

Lindsay, Jo – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2008
Contemporary undergraduate courses in research methods are challenging to teach because of the wide scope of the subject matter, limited student contact hours and the complexity of supervising research projects undertaken by novices. Focus group assignments within class offer an interesting and enjoyable way for students to develop and apply…

Using Slowmation to Engage Preservice Elementary Teachers in Understanding Science Content Knowledge
Hoban, Garry F. – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2007
Slow motion animation ("slowmation") is a new teaching approach that uses a simple animation process to engage learners in creating their own comprehensive animations of science concepts. In this paper, preservice elementary teachers used slowmation, a form of stop-motion animation, to make models of science concepts and take digital…
