Yeo, Kai Kow Joseph
Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, v27 n1 p54-64 2004
This study explores the problem-solving frameworks of twenty prospective secondary mathematics teachers. Twenty prospective secondary mathematics teachers were asked to complete in writing the statement "When I am given a mathematics problem to solve, this is what I do...." Prospective secondary mathematics teachers were found to rely on individual problem-solving frameworks to guide them when solving problems. The frameworks of prospective secondary mathematics teachers were very detailed and comprehensive. (Contains 2 tables.)
