A Study On Pre-service Mathematics Teachers’ Structure Of Mathematics Curriculum Knowledge

Along with the development of the reform on examination system of teacher qualification,it puts forward a higher requirement for pre-service teachers accordingly,and the pre-service teachers’ knowledge research become the hotspot.Compared with other teachers’ professional knowledge study, mathematics curriculum knowledge is still lacking of research,especially for pre-service mathematics teachers,there are still few researches on mathematics curriculum knowledge structure at present.Hence, selecting mathematics curriculum knowledge structure for pre-service mathematics teachers as research topic, it helps to understand mathematics curriculum knowledge structure completely and provides a reference theory content to measure and assess mathematics curriculum knowledge.This study is of great significance in improving their own knowledge structure for pre-service mathematics teachers and innovating the curriculum of normal universities.The following is research question of this study: what kinds of mathematics curriculum knowledge structure are should processed by pre-service mathematics teachers?Specifically,the question consisting of two aspects:what kinds of mathematics curriculum knowledge are should processed by pre-service mathematics teachers?What kind of the relationship between the knowledge of mathematics curriculum?Answers of these two questions are conclusions of this study.Therefore, this study combines with theoretical and empirical research, though the the way of literature, questionnaires, interviews. On the basic of defining the basic principles of selecting mathematics curriculum knowledge, the mathematics curriculum knowledge is constructed in theory,then making the investigation questionnaires of 103 pre-service teachers, in-service teachers and education researchers, mathematics education experts,according to the results of data and related suggestions,eventually,the composition of pre-service mathematics teachers’ mathematics curriculum knowledge is identified.The mathematics curriculum knowledge for pre-service mathematics teachers consists of four aspects: the knowledge of curriculum background, knowledge of mathematics curriculum standard, knowledge of mathematics teaching material and knowledge of mathematics curriculum resources,among them,the knowledge of curriculum background consists of 5 aspects,the senior school course objectives,the senior school course structure,the principle of choosing the high school course content,the curriculum implementation and the high school curriculum evaluation,including 6 elements;the knowledge of mathematics curriculum standard consists of 6 aspects,the text knowledge of curriculum standard,mathematics curriculum ideas and goals, the knowledge of mathematics curriculum structure,the knowledge of mathematics curriculum content,the implementation and evaluation of mathematics curriculum,the methods of researching curriculum standard, including 16elements; the knowledge of mathematics teaching material consists of 3aspects,the structure of mathematics textbooks, the content of mathematics textbooks mathematics textbooks and methods of studying mathematics textbooks, including 8elements; knowledge of mathematics curriculum resources consists of 2 aspects, the classification of mathematics curriculum resources,the expansion and development of mathematics curriculum resources, including 8 elements.After identifying the composition of mathematics curriculum knowledge,analyzing the relationship between the various parts of mathematics curriculum knowledge and the relationship between the various components and mathematics curriculum Knowledge,some conclusions are drawn as follows: the various parts of mathematics curriculum knowledge for pre-service mathematics teachers are closely related; the knowledge of mathematics curriculum standards is as "the center of knowledge" and various parts of mathematics curriculum knowledge interact on each other;the various parts of mathematics curriculum knowledge are integrated together into a complete mathematics curriculum knowledge structure and impact mathematics curriculum knowledge in different ways.Based on the study mentioned above, this dissertation puts forward the following suggestions for the curriculum of normal universities and pre-service mathematics teachers.The courses should focus on the demand on the examination system of teacher qualification;the courses should attention to the needs of mathematics teacher professional development; the pre-service mathematics teachers should make the mathematics curriculum standards as the main line to grasp of mathematics curriculum integrally;the pre-service mathematics teachers should be based on the knowledge of mathematics curriculum to reinforce teachers’ professional knowledge.
