The purpose of this study was to analyse the belief about mathematics teaching of elementary preservice teachers and mathematics teachers. This study involved 100 respondents from the preservice teachers and 114 respondents from the mathematics teachers. The instruments used in this study consist 15 items of mathematical knowledges and 19 items of mathematical activities. The finding showed that preservice teachers emphasized the conceptual knowledge, whereas mathematics teachers emphasized the procedural knowledge in the mathematical knowledges. And preservice teachers emphasized the knowledge representation, knowledge generation, knowledge deliberation, knowledge communication, whereas mathematics teachers emphasized the use of knowledge(syntax) in the mathematical activities. Finally, even though two groups showed the significant difference in some items, preservice teachers and mathematics teachers emphasized the various mathematical knowledges and mathematical activities.

본 연구의 목적은 예비 초등교사의 수학 수업에 대한 자기효능감을 조사함으로써 예비 교사를 위한 수학 교육프로그램 개선에 도움이 되고자 하는데 있다. 기존의 문헌 분석에 의하면 수업에 대한 교사들의 자기효능감은 수업 수행 능력과 학생들의 학습에 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려졌다. 뿐만 아니라 최근 우리가 지향하고 있는 교사들에 대한 학습자 중심 수학 수업으로의 개선과 변화된 수업 방식의 지속성에 매우 유효한 요인이 된다. 예비 초등교사들을 대상으로 한 본 연구 결과에 의하면 이들의 수학 수업에 대한 자기효능감은 보통의 수준에 머물러 있으며, 특히 상당수의 예비 교사들은 자신의 수학 수업에 대한 자신감이 매우 부족한 것으로 들어났다. 이러한 결과는 아마도 현재 교육대학교에서 예비 교사들에게 제공하는 수학 교육과 관련된 과목을 수강할 수 있는 기회가 매우 제한적인 데서 그 원인을 찾을 수 있으며, 이는 또한 수학 교육 프로그램의 초점이 예비 교사들의 수학 수업 능력의 측면에 초점이 맞추어져야 한다는 것을 시사한다. 예비 교사들의 수학 수업에 대한 자기 효능감은 그들이 이해하고 있는 수학 교수법적 지식과 매우 관련이 깊은 것으로 나타났다.

본 고에서는 교육대학의 3학년에 재학 중인 예비 초등교사들이 학생으로, 교생으로의 자신들의 경험을 중심으로 기술한 내용을 토대로 그들의 관점에서 본 수학에 대한 생각과 유능한 수학교사의 특징에 대하여 조사하였다. 이들 예비교사의 관점에서 보면 유능한 수학교사는 수학교과에 대한 수학 지식은 물론이고 수학교수에 대한 열정과 함께 학생들에 대한 관심과 사랑을 가지고 있어야한다.

In this study we analyse the features of process of problem posing and explore the development of mathematical knowledge of primary preservice teachers as result of their engagement in problem posing activity. Data was collected through the preservice teachers' class discussions. Analysis of the data shows that preservice teachers developed their ability to understand connections among mathematical concepts.

This study involved an investigation of prospective elementary teachers' preconceptions and experiences of diagrams and their ability to draw diagrams in solving math word problems. A questionnaire and two math word problems were administered to prospective elementary teachers who began to taking an introductory mathematics education course. The results from the analysis of their responses to the questionnaire items indicate that prospective elementary teachers appreciate the value of diagrams as tools for problem solving and communication. In addition, prospective elementary teachers have the will not only to teach their future students how to use diagrams but also to encourage them to draw diagrams in solving math word problems. However, the results also indicates that prospective elementary teachers neither use diagrams spontaneously in their math problem solving activities nor have confidence in drawing useful diagrams. Prospective elementary teachers also manifested low scores on the questionnaire items asking whether they were taught how to draw useful diagrams or encouraged by their teachers to use diagrams in their previous learning experiences. The results from the analysis of the diagrams that prospective elementary teachers drew in solving math word problems showed that most of them had difficulty drawing diagrams that represent their reasoning and solving process.

This study aims to find out the feasibility and effectiveness of mathematical games as a way to provide primary pre-service teachers with doing mathematics. The game had induced the active participation of elementary pre-service teachers. Through transforming the game, the teachers have been able to experience of mathematical problem posing and generating mathematical representation. Based on this, we discuss the role of mathematical games as a method of pre-service teacher education.

본 연구의 목적은 예비 초등교사의 덧셈과 뺄셈에 대한 교과 지식과 교수학적 지식이 어떠한가를 알아보는 것이었다. 29명의 예비 초등교사가 연구에 참여하였으며 자료는 개방형 답을 하는 질문지를 사용하여 수집하였다. 분석결과 예비 초등교사들은 문장제에서 의미론적 구성과 합병과 구차의 상황에 대한 이해에 어려움을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 교수학적 방법에서는 알고리즘에 의한 설명 방법을 주로 사용하였으며 뺄셈을 설명하는데 몇 가지 오개념을 보였다. 이 결과는 앞으로 초등교사양성대학의 프로그램 개발과 운영에 기초가 될 것이다.

This research aims to compare and identify the prospective elementary teachers' perspectives on mathematics class. In this aim, we analyzed the comments on the mathematics class by the prospective elementary teachers (senior students and junior students) who are differ in the time of study in the University of Education. As the results of this research, the senior students commented the mathematics class by applying the theories in mathematics education, but the junior students did not. Furthermore, the senior students had the more rigid perspectives on mathematics class and commented in more depth on mathematics class in comparison with the junior students. While, the senior students showed a weak point that they overextended and over-applied the some mathematics education theories in the comments on mathematics class.

The statement, 'Taking more mathematics would result a better mathematics teacher.' sounds plausible. However, it is questionable that how much of taking university level of mathematics such as abstract algebra and real analysis would affect to teach elementary mathematics well. Would a mathematician be a better teacher for elementary students to teach mathematics than who has been prepared to teach elementary mathematics? This paper reports the effects of opportunities to learn tertiary level mathematics and school level mathematics on pre-service primary school teachers' mathematics pedagogical content knowledge. The study analyzed Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics 2008 (TEDS-M 2008) database using multiple regression. Prospective primary teachers who have been prepared as generalist were the focus of the study. The results support future elementary teachers might need to have opportunities to revisit school mathematics they are going to teach.

The purpose of this study was to examine how pre-service elementary teachers develop mathematical tasks in the elementary teacher education program. Elementary pre-service teachers revise their tasks in clarifying representation, reflecting curriculum, modifying mathematical errors. Elementary pre-service teachers' perspective on assessment has been changed from focusing on tasks to focusing on students.
