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.

In this study, pre-service teachers who would be mathematics teachers of secondary school wrote the journal about learning mathematics. Journal writing helped pre-service teachers' math learning. Pre-service teachers could think mathematics reflectively, inquire it, represent their affectivity, plan the self-directed learning, and have the records of learning. They considered the educational issues as instructional methods, organization and management of instruction, assessment, and attitude of teacher. As well, they thought that journal writing was important in learning mathematics and how they would apply their students. Journal writing was meaningful to pre-service teacher education in cognitive and situative aspects.

Recently professional development of teaching competence is emphasized for mathematics teachers. It is necessary to teaching experience in pre-service mathematics teacher for development of teaching competence. It need to systematic self-reflection and improvement in instruction performance for development of teaching competence of pre-service mathematics teacher. That is, Theory of teaching practice for reflect thinking and practical knowledge of teaching and systemic guidance on theory and practice of teaching practice. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop an component and application procedure of Teaching and Learning portfolio for improvement teaching component of pre-service mathematics teacher. It is effective in improving teaching component of pre-service mathematics teacher after make Teaching and Learning portfolio for improvement teaching component.

This study included eleven elementary pre-service teachers who participated in the first and second teaching practices held by J Education College in 2015. After the pre-service teachers were encouraged to self-reflect on their mathematics teaching using a reflective survey sheet of mathematics teaching expertise, their uses of mathematics teaching expertise were analyzed according to the times of their mathematics practice instructions. The results are as follows: First, as the frequency of their mathematics teaching increased, the pre-service teachers' uses of mathematics teaching expertise increased, especially greatly with seven of them. However, the number of subcategories where the teachers' uses of mathematics teaching expertise increased was different from at least two to seven depending on the teachers. Second, the pre-service teachers who performed mathematics teaching practices four times used more of mathematics teaching expertise than those who did two times or three times. Third, some pre-service teachers who taught two or three times never reached 90% of the total score of any subcategory, even in the subcategory where they showed increase in their uses of mathematics teaching expertise. Fourth, the subcategory of 'reflection before class - teaching perspective - understanding of mathematics subject knowledge' was analyzed as the most difficult one for the study participants, and the reason is, they think, that there are not enough materials on the historical back grounds of mathematical concepts.

A variety of competencies for good teaching in mathematics has been discussed. It has been expected that there is discordance between researchers and teachers' perspectives on the competencies. We attempted to investigate teachers' perspectives rather than researchers' to narrow the possible discordance. First, we built a list of competencies for good teaching that mathematics teachers should meet by reviewing literatures. Second, we investigated mathematics teachers' perceptions about what requirements teachers should meet for good teaching, how mathematics learning experiences at the university level influence teachers' competence cultivation, and how pre-service teacher education influence teachers' competence building. Based on the results, we discussed mathematics teachers' competencies for good teaching and provided implications for pre-service teacher education.

This study is to design Flipped Learning classrooms of learner-centered education on the pre-service math teachers education. The study aims to explore the feasibility of teaching and learning method. To achieve the objectives of the study was to explore the teaching and learning model. Flipped learing classroom design includes a main step of a typical process of teaching system. And we designed the model based on the ADDIE Model. This model contains the design steps and the Flipped learning component of the teaching and learning design model. Designed classroom presented in three steps that are before classroom, during classroom and after classroom.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how pre-service secondary mathematics teachers modify mathematical tasks from a textbook and learning opportunities they have during the task modification. In the pursuit of this purpose, tasks was selected from derivative units in a textbook and five pre-service teachers was asked to modify the tasks. The findings from analysis are as follows. First, the cognitive demands of modified tasks were maintained or higher than those of the originals. Pre-service teachers' tendency toward conceptual understanding of derivative seems to make the result. Second, task modification provided a lot of learning opportunities for pre-service teachers. They tried to know intention of curriculum and textbook, realized the importance of predicting students' responses, and had opportunities for cooperation and reflective thinking.

The purpose of this study is to investigate preservice secondary teachers' understanding and modification capacity of tasks from mathematics textbooks. This study conducted a survey about how preservice teachers understand the features of mathematical tasks and how they would select and modify tasks appropriately from the curriculum and for lesson goals. The findings from the analysis suggest that the preservice teachers seem to recognize Procedures Without Connections tasks as the high-level tasks. Further, 43 percent of the total numbers appropriately selected the tasks from the curriculum and for lesson goals. Most of the preservice teachers appear to find it difficult to modify low-level tasks into high-level tasks.

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 study explored preservice secondary mathematics teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching [MKT]. In order to measure preservice teachers' MKT, we developed items according to Ball, Thames & Phelps (2008)'s domains and conducted to 53 preservice teachers. Also, we interviewed 1 preservice teacher with the items and a set of interview questions. The findings from the data analysis suggested as follows: a) overall, the preservice teachers scored average 30.2 out of 100; b) the preservice teachers appeared to be unable to explain students' difficulties in learning a specific mathematical idea and how they would respond to and resolve such difficulties.
