Share Paper: Digital Fabrication Scaffolds for Developing Preservice Elementary Teachers’ Mathematics Pedagogy
Wednesday, March 9 3:25-3:45 PM Oaklands
Abstract: This pilot study was designed to facilitate determination of a role for supports in assisting preservice elementary teachers to develop a mathematics pedagogy that includes using digital fabrication. Although results were statistically insignificant, the pattern of results regarding interest in math and regarding a career related to math suggest that additional exposure to the intervention might positively influence the size of differences between the pre-intervention and the post-intervention scores. Results from this pilot study thereby suggest it is possible that with proper supports preservice elementary teachers might develop a mathematics pedagogy that includes using digital fabrication, and this may influence ...
