Abstract

The importance of good mastery of specialised mathematics knowledge for mathematics teachers and prospective teachers is now recognised internationally. This paper presents an exploratory study aimed at investigating how mathematics education courses affect the Mathematics Teachers’ Specialised Knowledge (MTSK) of prospective primary teachers. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 118 future teachers, and an analysis of their answers was carried out with the MTSK model. The research highlights positive feedback on the effectiveness of the mathematics education laboratory that was staged, and provides an outline of the beliefs and the knowledge of the prospective teachers.
