Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to investigate prospective elementary school teachers’ mathematical process knowledge related to argumentation. To achieve this, we focus on prospective teachers’ mathematical argumentation as a key aspect of teachers’ mathematical knowledge for teaching. By referring to the framework of mathematical knowledge for teaching, we pay special attention to “process knowledge” instead of “content knowledge.” The study involves 136 prospective teachers at a national university in Japan. The task requires the evaluation of several incorrect solutions to a problem, and most prospective teachers were found to have difficulties evaluating or assessing the children’s incorrect solutions.
