This study, using a scriptwriting task, examines how 52 Czech pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) handled a situation in which a fictional pupil's incorrect reasoning resulted in a correct answer. The participants were asked to imagine and provide a script that reflects how the situation could evolve in response to the pupil's incorrect…

Mathematics is a core academic subject, regardless of grade level or setting. Everyone uses mathematics in their everyday life, so being competent in basic mathematics is critical to independent living. One thing teachers can do to ensure learners are learning the mathematics concepts being taught is to diagnose and remediate the errors they are…

The study aimed to explore the perception of pre-service teachers regarding the use of the red pen for corrections. A non-random sample of twelve (12) respondents, consisting of three experienced tutors from the Mathematics, Science, and English Departments, along with nine pre-service teachers, were interviewed. The data was analysed…

Research on practice-based teacher education [PBTE], such as rehearsals or teaching simulations, assumes that preservice teachers [PSTs] prefer such practical approaches in comparison to more theoretical work. Few studies test this assumption or incorporate PSTs voices and perspectives on PBTE approaches. This study draws on survey data and…

This study examines the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of Lithuanian mathematics teachers at different stages of their professional careers. The research sample comprised 134 participants ranging from novice teachers with no teaching experience to experienced educators, with the longest career spanning 45 years. The participants were divided…

The aim of this study was to examine prospective science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge in terms of their approach to error. For this purpose, a data collection tool consisting of 5 questions for conceptual understanding of electrical circuits and steps containing correct and incorrect explanations for each question was prepared and…

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of GeoGebra software in preservice mathematics teachers' process of correcting and making sense of errors regarding the concept of the asymptote. Case study method, one of the qualitative approaches, was adopted in the study. The study group consisted of 11 preservice teachers studying in…

Practice-based pedagogies, such as representations of practice and approximations of practice, are increasingly common in mathematics teacher education. More needs to be known about how teacher candidates' (TCs') productions through such activities make visible the resources they bring to the work of teaching. In this paper, we highlight our use…

The development of statistical literacy has become a key outcome of mathematics curricula in various countries. The purpose of the study was to explore primary pre-service teachers' (PSTs') knowledge of aspects of measures of central tendency, which is a central concept in statistical literacy. The 183 PSTs' written responses to four tasks were…

It is critical to teach all learners to program and think through programming. But to do so requires that early childhood teacher candidates learn to teach computer science. This in turn requires novel pedagogy that can both help such teachers learn the needed skills, but also provide a model for their future teaching. In this study, we examined…

The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of error-based activities on the reflective thinking processes of pre-service elementary education mathematics teachers. To this end, qualitative research method was employed. The current study was carried out with the participation of six pre-service elementary education mathematics…

This study aims to investigate and compare mathematics teachers' knowledge of pedagogical content, knowledge of students' understanding and knowledge of instructional strategies, subcomponents of pedagogical content knowledge, student errors in the relationship between perimeter and areas in rectangles, squares, and parallelograms. 10…

This study examines science, mathematics, and classroom teacher candidates' attitudes towards mistakeinstant feedback. A total of 531 undergraduate students from different universities in Türkiye participated in the study. "Mathematics and science teachers' attitude scale towards mistakes and instant feedback to mistakes" (MST-AS) was…

The aim of this study is to reveal and evaluate the attending and interpreting skills of student thinking of prospective teachers, as well as their instructional suggestions as responding skills. The current study was conducted with 29 prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) within a qualitative design in the context of probability. First, three…

Interactions around unexpected, incorrect, or dis-preferred responses can be powerful sites of learning for both teachers and students. The information that teachers uncover through probing student thinking can then guide their pedagogical response. We report on a study of prospective teachers' skills and capabilities around a particular problem…
