Abstract

This study examines how preservice teachers use student assessment data for math re-engagement lessons. The research aims to understand preservice teachers' interpretation and application of assessment data to meet student needs. A case study with thirteen preservice teachers was conducted to analyze instructional and assessment task design processes. Results emphasize data-driven decision-making, formative assessment, and differentiated instruction for student learning. The study highlights aligning assessments with learning goals, using formative assessment strategies, and providing targeted feedback for student misconceptions. Insights are offered for teacher education programs on the importance of assessment data in tailoring instructional approaches for student math mastery.
