North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (44th, Nashville, TN, Nov 17-20, 2022)
This study presents an extension of the validity argument for the PCK-Fractions measure. PCK-Fractions is designed to assess the effectiveness of professional experiences in facilitating teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for children's fraction reasoning in grades 3-5. We examined data across 101 participants from two Midwest universities including noneducation majors, education majors, and education majors with grade 3 to 5 math field experiences. Results provide additional validity evidence for the PCK-Fractions. Namely, evidence indicates differences in scores between groups of participants--preservice teachers grade 3 to 5 field experience had higher scores than those without, and all preservice teachers had higher scores than non-education majors.
