42. PRE-SERVICE SECONDARY MATHEMATICS TEACHERS AS LEARNERS: IMPLICATIONS FOR THEIR TEACHING OF CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING
Fri, Oct 6, 4:30 to 5:30pm, Union Station, Floor: Second, Illinois Street BallroomDescription
The purpose of this poster presentation is to report on the solutions of secondary mathematics pre-service teachers (PST) as they solved conceptually rich problems. Using the SOLO Taxonomy, 15 PSTs’ solutions were analyzed by a panel of mathematics educators. In addition, the authors studied questions posed by PSTs during their student teaching experiences through video analysis. Questions were categorized using Crespo’s criteria of problem posing. Results showed a significant majority of their questions were procedural while PSTs own problem solutions showed a lack of conceptual understanding and depth of knowledge.
