Due to the sudden and unexpected move to remote learning in 2020 influenced by COVID-19, both mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) and prospective elementary teachers (PTs) faced a new challenge in creating a productive remote teaching and learning environment. In this study, we used Parrish's (2014) addition strategies and Thanheiser's (2009)…

With this research, it is aimed to evaluate professional teaching knowledge courses considering the opinions of the academic instructors and pre-service teachers. Phenomenology was used in the research designed in accordance with the descriptive research method. The study group of the research was determined by criterion sampling method. The main…

This study aims to examine the change in intentions and views about the integration, mathematics teaching self-efficacy, and mathematical literacy self-efficacy after an online education about mathematics and children's literature to pre-service pre-school, primary school, and elementary mathematics teachers. The research participants consisted of…

Mediated Field Experiences (MFEs) provide teacher candidates (TCs) structured opportunities to unpack and enact core teaching practices, gain mathematics content and pedagogical knowledge, and reflect critically on mathematics teaching and learning. In this paper we present findings from a multi-institutional descriptive pilot study that…

Migration has been a constant in human history, presenting various economic, social, and cultural challenges. The integration of immigrants into society, particularly in terms of language and education, plays a crucial role in fostering social harmony. While Turkey has made progress in its integration policies, challenges persist, including…

This study examines the effects of a short-term intensive out-of-area urban field experience on undergraduate pre-service teachers' perceptions of teaching in urban schools. During the experience, participants read scholarly literature, participated in dialogue circles, taught in an urban elementary classroom, conducted a community mapping…

Given the centrality of angle in mathematics curricula and scarcity of research in this area, we investigated 64 PTs' assimilatory domains of angularity by analyzing the angles they indicated when presented with four segments mutually sharing an endpoint. In both interview and written settings, we found PTs were more likely to recognize convex…

Pre-service teacher training (PTT), programs are required to emphasise the importance of enhancing the theory practice nexus and on constantly developing a sense of teacher identity and teaching competencies (Liu & Low, 2015) for the 21st Century learners. The 21st Century Curriculum Research Project (21CP) sought to explore how pre-service…

Research suggests that preservice teachers enter teacher education with predominantly negative dispositions towards mathematics. We present a case study of an approach to supporting the development of positive mathematics teaching identities among students in a middle-level math methods course. Our findings suggest that engaging in narrative…

The present study aimed to determine the estimation skills of elementary education pre-service mathematics teachers and the strategies they adopt in estimation. The case study methodology was employed in the study, and the participants included 37 volunteering students attending the fourth grade in the Primary Education Mathematics Instruction…

To prevent the disruption of education and training activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, distance education was started, and applied courses were continued with online methods. The aim of this study was to do in-depth examination of the experiences of pre-service teachers regarding the online Teaching Practicum course they took during the…

For years, teacher education programs have focused considerable effort on teacher knowledge and how to develop the types of knowledge that matter in teacher education candidates. Meanwhile, candidate dispositions for teaching have received little attention, particularly in mathematics courses for candidates. As developers and practitioners of a…

In this study, the authors investigate the written feedback provided to primary and secondary pre-service teachers studying a specialisation in mathematics. The analysis focuses on 16 written reports completed by mentor teachers during the penultimate year placement of pre-service teachers. The evaluation employs a framework informed by the…

The paper presents the aims and the design of the international e-learning course for teacher training "International Project" / Internet and Competence to work on the Project"/IPC/, organized with students from the Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" (Bulgaria) and universities from Germany, USA, Spain, Japan, Sweden…

Some studies state that teachers do not have sufficient knowledge for the implementation of the program, do not find the teaching and evaluation activities applicable, and have difficulty in implementing the program due to the lack of materials-tools and equipment. In this context, this research aims to determine the opinions of pre-service…
