Mathematics Preservice Teachers' (M-PSTs) conceptions of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) enhance their reflective skills because they utilize such conceptions to reflect on how to contextualize content knowledge during secondary mathematics teaching. While previous studies suggested M-PSTs develop MKT, including pedagogical content…

The research investigated the "Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge" (TPACK) of pre-service mathematics teachers and its impact on their sustained intention to utilize GeoGebra in teaching mathematics. This study introduced a novel research model by extending the "Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology"…

As technology becomes increasingly prominent in modern mathematics education, there's a growing need to understand the essential knowledge mathematics teachers need to effectively integrate technology in algebra instructions. This study therefore enhances the current Knowledge of Algebra for Teaching (KAT) framework, which theorises teachers'…

We present evidence of a secondary school teacher's Knowledge of Mathematics Teaching when she teaches linear equations in a word problem setting. We focus on analyzing the examples and mathematics support that she provides her students with during two classes. When faced with contingencies, she takes decisions whereby she adapts or creates…

This study aims to examine the lesson plan development processes and related experiences of prospective teachers, and determine the potential effects their lesson plan development efforts on their perceived TPACK. The research was conducted as part of a 14-week Mathematics Teaching course. During the course, prospective teachers underwent a…

The study explores the integration of technology in teaching mathematics, providing current secondary mathematics teachers with effective practices and guiding future mathematics teachers toward a technology-pedagogical approach. In this study, I focused on effective teaching practices with technology in teaching mathematics to current secondary…

We report on an effort to vet a list of 10 student learning objectives (SLOs) for geometry courses taken by prospective geometry teachers. Members of a faculty online learning community, including mathematicians and mathematics educators who teach college geometry courses taken by prospective secondary teachers developed this list in an effort to…

Mathematics teacher educators have suggested preservice mathematics teachers' (PMTs') practices provide evidence of their mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). PMTs engage in approximations of practice to rehearse teaching. To explore connections between MKT and PMTs' practices, we operationalized six MKT subdomains in terms of approximations…

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programme include community of practice, action research, training, and award-bearing. CPDs also include deficit, cascade model, standard-based model, and coaching and mentoring. These CPD programme have been used in acquiring and disseminating new ideas and practices. In Rwanda, towards the effectiveness…

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is a frequently discussed subject, as are the students who study it. Not so frequently discussed are the educators that teach and interact with students daily. A great deal of research has been done on the characteristics of STEM students, including who they are, how they learn, and the need…

Due to the nature of the teaching environment, students may often develop perceptions of their lecturers' ability as mathematicians, based on the pre-prepared and well-rehearsed content they present. In reality, performing mathematical calculations and solving problems is a difficult skill, and students may compare their own experiences…

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed the widespread adoption of distance learning, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of how teacher knowledge evolves within the context of Teacher Professional Education (TPE) programs. Some research endeavors may employ evaluation methodologies that inadequately capture the nuanced dimensions of…

Probability signifies a mainstream strand in mathematics curricula. Nonetheless, many curricular documents prepared for teachers might not offer enough support. In such a situation, a further reflection on teachers' professional knowledge for teaching probability is demanded; especially, from the perspective of probabilistic reasoning (PoPR) that…

This study explores the extent to which pre-service teachers are able to implement contemporary practices in teaching mathematics during their practicum. The main focus of the study is on the importance of prior engagement of students in learning mathematical concepts. The total population of 150 student teachers from both the Colleges of…

This article discusses how two beginning mathematics teachers mobilize and develop their didactics knowledge, specifically concerning knowledge of statistical content and teaching practice, during a teacher education experience. This work was developed as part of a specialization course for elementary school mathematics teachers, in the subjects…
