Providing Preservice Education Students Opportunities to Experience and Develop Effective Instructional Strategies for Teaching Elementary School Mathematics.
Sherman, Helene J.
Educational Research Quarterly, v15 n3 p26-33 Jul 1992

Both teacher understanding and ability to teach to elementary school students in field experience programs were enhanced. (SLD)
