An analysis of the form and content of quadrilateral definitions composed by novice pre-service teachers

Mathematical definitions are an important mathematical construct which has been noted as a challenging topic for both teachers and students. This study provides an analysis of the form and content of a set of 308 definitions of quadrilateral types provided by 44 novice pre-service elementary teachers (NPSTs) who had not yet studied geometry or definitions on the college level. Analysis of definition structure including necessary, sufficient, and minimal conditions, as well as hierarchical and partitional structure, provides insight into what NPSTs may think about the form of mathematical definitions in general. Analysis of the properties used in definitions of each shape type and the frequency of those properties reveals the shape types with which NPSTs are most and least familiar. These results are presented alongside possible applications and implications for instruction.     

化学师范生手持技术接受度与TPACK的相关性研究

以技术接受度模型(Technology Acceptance Model, TAM)与TPACK(Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge,整合信息技术、教学法、学科内容的知识结构)理论为基础,以手持技术为技术接受度模型与TPACK中的技术对象,利用结构方程模型调查研究H大学化学师范生的手持技术接受度与TPACK的相关性。研究发现：(1)化学师范生对手持技术的行为意愿、感知易用性、主观规范正向影响TPACK的发展;(2)化学师范生对手持技术的感知有用性与自我效能正向影响行为意愿,并能通过行为意愿间接影响TPACK的发展。最后,基于研究结果,提出发挥示范引领作用、重视优质资源的整合应用等提升化学师范生手持技术TPACK的4条建议。     

Measuring pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy in tutoring children in primary mathematics: an instrument

This article reports on the use of Rasch modelling to develop and validate an instrument measuring self-efficacy in tutoring children in primary mathematics (SETcPM). In response to the literature on teacher efficacy, the 20-item instrument aims to inform teacher educators, and is designed for novice pre-service teachers (nPSTs) preparing to teach mathematics in primary school (grades 1–7, ages 6–13). To ensure that the tasks of teaching are imaginable for nPSTs, the instrument targets the core activity of teaching mathematics: helping a generic child with mathematics tasks. We propose that SETcPM is measurable for the intended population and represents a central part of self-efficacy in teaching mathematics (SETM). Understanding the initial SETcPM of novices and mapping its development over the course of their training programme can contribute to a better understanding of SETM, and allow teacher educators to tailor their support.     

Examining middle school pre-service teachers’ knowledge of fraction division interpretations

This study investigated 11 pre-service middle school teachers’ solution strategies for exploring their knowledge of fraction division interpretations. Each participant solved six fraction division problems. The problems were organized into two sets: symbolic problems (involving numbers only) and contextual problems (involving measurement interpretation and the determination of unit rate interpretation). Results showed that most of the participants exhibited a great amount of procedural knowledge as they applied algorithms to obtain the correct answers to the symbolic problems. They also exhibited a great amount of conceptual understanding of how and why they obtained the correct answers to the contextual problems. However, the pre-service middle school teachers neither provided interpretations to the symbolic problems nor accepted that the contextual problems involved fraction division operation. The results suggest that the measurement and rate concepts were often unlinked to fraction division.

职前化学教师评价素养提升的实证研究

研究采用单组前后测设计的准实验研究方法,以化学专业师范生为研究对象,通过基于真实情境的"化学教学测量与评价"课程教学,提升职前教师的学业评价素养。结果发现：课程教学后,职前教师的评价素养有显著提升,但各维度的提升效果不同,"基本概念"和"数据解释"2个维度的效果明显,且最终的素养水平也高;"测验设计"维度提升效果虽不显著,但学生的最终水平表现较好;而"质量特性"评价伦理"和"测验评分"等维度,提升效果虽然明显,但最终的素养水平却不够理想。
