Description

Based on the study's findings, the authors recommend that teacher educators integrate mathematics content and mathematics instruction into teacher education courses. Their first recommendation states: "The MTIS treatment should be considered for use in an agricultural teaching methods course to increase the mathematics ability of preservice agricultural teachers." The recommendation rests on the significant ANCOVA result and large effect size reported in the study.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • A lecture on the seven components of a math-enhanced lesson delivered within the methods course
  • Lab sections in which preservice teachers deliver micro-teachings to peers

Constraints

  • The authors call for replication with preservice teachers from other teacher education programs before broader generalization, given the limited scope and small sample

Target Learners

  • preservice agricultural education teachers

Learning Goals

  • mathematics ability
  • integrating mathematics into agricultural instruction
