Description of Presentation:
We compare two accounts of change in preservice teachers’ (PSTs') knowledge and motivation for teaching multi-digit addition and subtraction that were a result of taking a mathematics methods class. Using scales with strong psychometric properties, we found knowledge increased but found no evidence of change in motivation. However, by comparing pre-and posttest responses item by item we found compelling patterns of linked change.
