Knecht, Petr; Spurná, Michaela; Svobodová, Hana – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2020
The status of geography as a separate school subject in Czechia is being increasingly questioned as pupils' interest in it is declining. Pre-service teachers (i.e. teacher trainees at universities) are key players in recontextualizing geography education in the future. Therefore, understanding pre-service teachers' conceptions of geography and its…

Lucietto, Anne; Russell, Liza; Schott, Emily – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2020
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…

Locia-Espinoza, Edgardo; Morales-Carballo, Armando; Merino-Cruz, Héctor – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020
This paper reports the results of three questionnaires applied to sixty-seven students preparing to become university-level mathematics teachers; the questionnaires were focused on knowing their conceptions and their mastery of the representations of functions in the development of power series. The theoretical and methodological background rests…

Phelps, Geoffrey; Sykes, Gary – Phi Delta Kappan, 2020
Licensure tests play a critical role in any profession. Well-designed tests both delineate the core competencies that are required to enter a profession and provide evidence that candidates can safely practice in the profession. They also identify the professional knowledge and skill that differentiates any educated individual from the…

Holm, Jennifer; Kajander, Ann – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2020
Some views of elementary teacher preparation may include the idea that undergraduate mathematics courses are useful or even crucial for prospective teachers to have. This study sought to identify teacher candidates with mathematics degrees, in order to study their mathematical preparation. The identified prospective teachers were studied to…

Jaquiline Amani; Samson John Mgaiwa – Education 3-13, 2025
The present study examined the role Culturally-Responsive Instruction (CRI) in fostering children's learning in rural Tanzania. Employing a multiple case study design, the study gathered information from 45 participants (6 pre-primary teachers and 39 parents) drawn from six schools in three districts using interviews, classroom observations, and…

Katie Steckles; Claire Ketnor; Ros Porter; Alex Shukie; Alexander S. Corner – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2025
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…

Alfaro Víquez, Helen – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
Mathematics teachers' knowledge for teaching mathematics has been broadly studied in recent years, and many theoretical frameworks and instruments have been created to measure and improve knowledge and competencies to teach mathematics. The knowledge gained from these studies has been crucial in understanding and determining what mathematics…

Ramchand, Mythili – Contemporary Education Dialogue, 2022
Pedagogic Content Knowledge (PCK) is variously considered a useful framework, construct, model and tool to both understand and help form the knowledge base for teaching. There exists extant literature on the PCK of science. Building on this literature, this study aims to contribute towards an understanding of implementing curriculum reforms in…

Tan, Da Yang; Tay, Eng Guan; Teo, Kok Ming; Shutler, Paul M. E. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
In this work, we report the emergence of the Hands, Head and Heart framework that arose within the curriculum review for subject knowledge courses for primary school pre-service teachers in the National Institute of Education, Singapore. Through an initial grounded analysis of a survey of pre-service teachers and faculty focus group meeting data,…

Hermanns, Jolanda; Keller, David – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In this paper, we describe a study on tasks following the construct of school-related content knowledge. We know from previous studies that such tasks were rated by the preservice chemistry teachers as important for their future profession. Those studies were conducted in a traditional course on organic chemistry which was organized around…

Caldwell, Helen; Whewell, Emma; Bracey, Paul; Heaton, Rebecca; Crawford, Helen; Shelley, Claire – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2021
Subject marginalisation is an on-going concern across the primary education sector, particularly for the arts and humanities. This poses issues for pre-service teacher partnerships and for higher education institutions (HEIs) evaluating the role of subjects within their teacher training courses as they reform their curricula to prepare students to…

Borke, Mikael – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
An important part of the mathematics syllabuses at the secondary school level in most countries is the concept of function. However, secondary school students often experience difficulties with this concept. These difficulties are well-known in the research literature. The study applies the mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) framework,…

Hurst, Chris; Hurrell, Derek – International Online Journal of Primary Education, 2021
Specialised Content Knowledge (SCK) is defined by Ball, Hoover-Thames, and Phelps (2008) as mathematical knowledge essential for effective teaching. It is knowledge of mathematics that is beyond knowledge which would be required outside of teaching; for instance, the capacity to determine what misconception(s) may lie behind an error in…

Lewis, Fay; Edmonds, Juliet; Fogg-Rogers, Laura – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Teacher performance has been linked with both self-efficacy and subject knowledge confidence suggesting that it is important to address these aspects within initial teacher training programmes. This study investigated the development of pre-service teacher's science and engineering subject knowledge confidence and teaching self-efficacy following…
