Abstract | Many teacher educators model constructivist pedagogy to preservice teachers in the mathematics classes they take. Preservice teachers however, are not necessarily comfortable being a part of such a class. The following qualitative case study examined the expectations and reactions of a group of preservice teachers who were taking their final content mathematics course. Survey results sorted by content analysis indicated students were expecting (1) a methods class, (2) the instructor to teach them mathematics by telling, and (3) the instructor to take an authoritative role in the classroom. Student reactions are reported as direct quotes. The author's purpose in conducting this study is to stimulate dialogue among teacher educators surrounding these common reactions. (As Provided). |
