Enhancing Preservice Mathematics Teachers' TPCK
Hardy, Michael
Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, v29 n1 p73-86 Feb 2010
The goal of the X-Tech project was to enhance preservice teachers' perceptions of their preparedness to teach with technology. Results indicated that practically-oriented methods that meet a variety of technology related needs are viable for attaining such a goal. Further, it is particularly beneficial to have teachers use a variety of resources to explore problems relevant to the level at which they will teach, plan technology-infused lessons, and critique technological resources. Finally, the structure of the methodology employed in the Project can serve as a model for similar efforts to prepare preservice teachers to teach with technology.
