Knowledge Variation of Teachers in Middle-School Mathematics Classrooms

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to investigate how two eighth-grade mathematics teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge is manifested in their classroom instruction. A case study was conducted for the study. The results revealed similarities and differences in the teachers’ knowledge manifested in their mathematics classrooms and that the two teachers had slightly different structures of pedagogical content knowledge. One teacher is more dependent on his knowledge of mathematics and knowledge of students’ understanding and the other teacher on her knowledge of instructional process and, to a lesser extent, knowledge of mathematics.
