  • This study investigated the impact of entry level of mathematics subject knowledge on student teachers' mathematics pedagogical content knowledge development and performance in mathematics teaching practice. The sample consisted of 24 mathematics student teachers, 12 of whom passed A-Level mathematics and 12 of whom only passed O-level mathematics. They were all studying in a 4-year bachelor of education (Honours/Primary) programme; they were either majoring or minoring in mathematics. Results showed that student teachers' entry-level mathematics subject knowledge is not related to their mathematics pedagogical content knowledge development or their mathematics teaching performance. These findings may lead society to consider whether student teachers who have passed O-level mathematics are already eligible to be trained as professional primary mathematics teachers. As a consequence, this study raises the issues of how to develop student teachers' mathematics pedagogical content knowledge and whether we need to restructure our bachelor of education (Primary) programmes' curriculum in teacher professionalism.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 중학교 교수내용지식이 수업을 통하여 어떻게 나타나는지 다양한 형태의 교사 지식을 분류하고 분석하는 것이다. 연구 결과, 연구에 참여한 두 명의 수학 교사의 지식은 유사하면서도 다른 구조의 형태를 띠고 있었다. 한 교사는 수학 내용 지식과 학생에 대한 지식을 더 많이 사용하는 것으로, 다른 교사는 교수적인 전략과 수학내용 지식을 더 많이 활용하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • It is the development of a mathematics teachers' teaching knowledge that manifests a mathematics teacher's professional knowledge growth. It is becoming a direct and effective approach of conversion of mathematical knowledge into the knowledge of mathematics teaching. Through the investigation, the study revealed that the knowledge conversion process of mathematics teachers in middle school is restricted by three aspects including eight factors. From this point, the authors have structured the path and model on influencing factors of middle school Mathematics Teaching Knowledge Conversion (MPCK), and discuss the mechanism of the transformation process.

  • Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of early childhood teachers' teaching beliefs, mathematics teaching efficacy, and pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics on their teaching intention of mathematics. Methods: A total of 266 early child teachers in Busan participated in this study. They completed a set of question naires which consisted of questions about teaching beliefs, mathematics teaching efficacy, pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics, and the teaching intention of mathematics. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Results: First, we observed several positive correlations among the four variables. Second, we found that early childhood teachers' constructive teaching beliefs, mathematics teaching efficacy, and pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics had effects on their teaching intention of mathematics. The knowledge about teaching-learning methods for mathematics among the subcategories of pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics was observed as the strongest predictor for the teachers' teaching intention. Conclusion: We need to take more interest in the pedagogical knowledge about teaching-learning methods of mathematics in teacher training courses in order to enhance teachers' teaching intention of mathematics. As a result, this will makea contribution to high quality math education for young children.

  • Structualist view distinguishes structure(reality) from phenomenon(appearance). Phenomenon is the outside aspect of structure and structure is the inside aspect of phenomenon. From the structualist view, the knowledge could e divided into two parts, the appearance of knowledge(the outside aspect of knowledge)and the structure of knowledge(the inside aspect of knowledge). Structualist view advices teachers to understand knowledge more totally from the inside-outside viewpoint, and not to teach mere the one aspect of knowledge, especially the outside aspect of knowledge, that is, the written expressions in textbook, but to teach the inside and outside aspects fo knowledge totally. In the history of mathematics education, the attempts to teach the structure of knowledge were flourishing in the period of discipline-centered curriculum. 'New Math movement' represents the attempts. The advocators of New Math, however, did not succeed sufficiently to understand the inside-outside view which the term the structure of knowledge represents, and failed to make mathematics teachers to understand the view well. Their attention was put on to introduce the modern mathematics to school math rather than to understand the educational and epistemological perspective which the term the structure of knowledge represents. To teach the structure of knowledge, mathematics teacher should be able to understand mathematical knowledge more totally from the inside-outside viewpoint. Especially, s/he should not regard the outside aspect of mathematical knowledge written in textbook as the totality of knowledge, but inquire into the inside aspect of mathematical knowledge from the outside aspect of mathematical knowledge.

  • This research reviewed literatures on proof in mathematics education. Several views of proof can be classified (and identified) such as psychological approach (Platonism, empiricism), structural approach (logicism, formalism, intuitionism) and social approach (ontology, axiomatic systems). All these views of proof are valuable in mathematics education society. The concept of proof can be found in the form of analytic knowledge not of constructive knowledge. Human beings developed their knowledge in the sequence of constructive knowledge to analytic knowledge. Therefore, in mathematics education, the curriculum of mathematics should involve the process of cognitive knowledge development.

  • 본 사례 연구의 목적은 한국초등교사의 수학교육과정 지식을 알아보는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 수업지도안, 수업 관찰, 인터뷰 등의 다양한 데이터 자료의 분석을 통해 한국 초등교사의 수학교육과정 지식이 어떻게 그들의 수학 교수 활동에 영향을 주는지에 대한 심도 깊은 사례연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구의 데이터 분석 결과 한국 초등교사의 수학교육과정 지식은 수업을 설계하고, 진행하고, 학습자의 과업을 평가하는데 직접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 수학교육과정 지식이 수직적 수학교육과정 지식, 수평적 교육과정 지식의 두 개의 하위 영역으로 구분될 수 있음을 밝혀냈다. 이 국제 사례연구의 결과는 초등 수학 수업과 연관된 교사의 교육과정 지식을 이해하는데 더움을 줄 것으로 기대되며, 한국과 미국 양국의 연구자들, 정책입안자들에게 의미 있는 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • In this study, we examined the relationships among years of teaching experience, professional rank, number of courses taken, and knowledge of algebra for teaching (KAT). 338 in-service and 376 pre-service secondary mathematics teachers in China completed a KAT questionnaire. Various statistical techniques were employed to examine these relationships. The pre-service participants teachers performed statistically significantly higher in advanced mathematics knowledge than their in-service counterparts. Among the inservice teachers, senior teachers had scored higher in school mathematics and teaching mathematics, compared with junior teachers. Yet participants' advanced mathematics knowledge decreased as their professional rank advanced or their teaching experience increased. The number of courses taken has significantly positive correlation with school mathematics knowledge and advanced mathematics knowledge. The implications of these findings for mathematics teacher education are discussed.

  • In this paper, we analyze what the components of mathematics teacher` knowledge are, and find that mathematics teacher need knowledge of three areas: subject matter knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge. Studies of practicing teachers suggest that When teachers lack understanding in their respective disciplines, it inhibits them from providing students the best learning opportunities, but that a teacher possessing pedagogical content knowledge provides learners with multiple approaches into learning. Some teachers having sound knowledge of mathematics and students were able to respond appropriately to students' questions, design appropriate learning activities involving a variety of mathematical representations, and orchestrate mathematical discourse in the classroom. Thus, it appears that mathematics teachers' knowledge positively affect teaching and student learning..
