Learning by Exploration in Mathematics Courses: A Programme for Student Teachers.

Runesson, Ulla

European Journal of Teacher Education, v20 n2 p161-69 1997

Student teachers work cooperatively in small groups, with teacher educators facilitating. Preliminary evaluation suggests the program helps student teachers develop insight into the complexity of learning and teaching. (SM)
