Feza, Nosisi N. – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2016
Mathematics learning and teaching continues to be a challenge in the South African education system. This challenge is observed in the poor performance of students in national and international assessments. Research suggests that teachers' content knowledge and knowledge of teaching mathematics contribute significantly to students' performance. In…

Yadav, Aman; Krist, Christina; Good, Jon; Caeli, Elisa Nadire – Computer Science Education, 2018
A number of efforts have focused on preparing teachers to integrate CT within secondary disciplinary subject areas; however, there is little research on how CT ideas could be embedded within elementary subjects. We designed a professional development activity for elementary teachers to embed CT within science and examined how their understanding…

Turkan, Sultan; de Jong, Ester J. – Teacher Education Quarterly, 2018
Research indicates that many English learners (ELs) have not been effectively supported in meeting their academic learning goals. This explains, in part, the growing interest and corresponding research on the essential teacher knowledge-base for teaching ELs. Despite the attention paid to this issue, research on preservice teachers' reasoning and…

Hoth, Jessica; Kaiser, Gabriele; Busse, Andreas; Döhrmann, Martina; König, Johannes; Blömeke, Sigrid – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
This paper addresses an important task teachers face in class: the identification and support of creative and high-achieving students. In particular, we examine whether primary teachers (1) have acquired professional knowledge during teacher education that is necessary to foster creativity and to teach high-achieving students, and whether they (2)…

Herbst, Patricio; Chazan, Daniel – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2015
We describe how multimedia scenarios delivered online can be used in instruments for the study of professional knowledge. Based on our work in the study of the knowledge and rationality involved in mathematics teaching, we describe how the study of professional knowledge writ large can benefit from the capacity to represent know-how using…

Chick, Helen; Stacey, Kaye – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2013
Some of mathematics teaching is routine, like an exercise from a textbook for which you have received instruction and already know what to do. On other occasions, however, teaching mathematics is challenging, involving problems of teaching for which the solutions may not be readily apparent. These situations require the application of mathematical…
