Description
The organizers of this discussion group would like to bring together professionals who are interested in exploring issues related to pre-service teachers’ abilities to plan and implement problem-solving events in an integrated context. Specifically, participants in this group will focus on analyzing pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards knowledge and beliefs about best teaching practices in the mathematics classroom with respect to William Perry’s (1970) scheme of intellectual development. Examples of pre-service teachers’ integrated units and responses to interview questions will be used for analysis and to help guide group discussion. We feel that this analysis and discussion may help us understand how we can better prepare our future educators to be effective teachers and agents of change within our school systems.
