Elementary Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge of Mathematics.

Fuller, Roberta A.

Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v10 n2 p9-16 Spr 1997

Twelve open-ended questions, administered to 28 experienced elementary teachers and 26 education majors, examined mathematical content knowledge and related pedagogical knowledge by focusing on instructional decisions made in specific classroom situations involving whole number operations, fractions, and geometry. Results suggest that pedagogical knowledge related to specific content is not necessarily acquired through teaching experience. (SV)
