Eliciting Pre-Service Secondary Mathematics Teachers' Technological Pedagogical Function Knowledge

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of technological pedagogical function knowledge that preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) exhibited through engaging in a module in which they examine artifacts of students' mathematical thinking with technology. Three cases are presented to describe the evidence of technological pedagogical function knowledge that was elicited through engagement with the module. Findings show that the module was successful in eliciting PSMTs' function knowledge, technological function knowledge, and technological pedagogical function knowledge. Differences in the manners in which these knowledges were elicited are discussed and implications for teachers of PSMTs are shared.
