  In Roundtable Session: Innovative Pedagogy of Teacher Education and Its Impact on Preservice Teachers

Abstract

Teacher educators are often pressed to create experiences for future teachers to engage in the practice of teaching mathematics with technology. In this paper, we describe how preservice teachers in a methods class incorporated their knowledge of technology, mathematics, and pedagogy in a project of creating video lessons using an app called ExplainEverything on iPad. We characterize their experiences using the TPACK framework (Mishra & Koehler, 2006). Results from qualitative analysis suggest participants demonstrated effective use of technology, pedagogical techniques, and mathematical representations using technology. Implications for practice include a recommendation to implement a cycle of learning in which preservice teachers can refine their pedagogical strategies, the rigor in their mathematics, and their use of mathematical action technology.
