Description:
Elementary teachers are expected to teach all subjects: mathematics, science, history, and language arts. However, elementary school teachers often lack confidence in their mathematics skills. Most pre-service teachers complete a minimal number of mathematics courses as part of a teaching curriculum which can lead to a lack of confidence in their mathematics skills. The purpose of this study is to determine the confidence level of pre-service teachers who have completed at least two mathematics courses. Participants will be enrolled in MASC 450 at Texas A&M University. The primary research question is: What is the confidence level of pre-service teachers when asked to consider elementary and middle school mathematics concepts.
