Research on Teaching Resources Facilitating Prospective Mathematics Teacher of Designing Project-Based Learning
摘要
The application of Project-based Leaning (PBL) in mathematics has gradually become the focus of international mathematics education research since students benefited greatly from PBL. This also makes the teacher-educators who teach prospective teachers (PTs) about PBL in courses need to find abundant teaching resources for PTs’ deeply understanding on PBL design. This research collected and analysed PTs’(n = 20) reflective journals and other transcript data of the course based on the theoretical framework of Activity Theory to answer what kind of teaching resources were needed and how they influence the teaching and learning process. There are two major findings: (1) The course enabled the teaching resources to contribute to PTs’ understanding of PBL design; (2) the teaching resources varied from forms, topics of relevant knowledge, and developable resources influence PTs on PBL design in different ways.
