An Examination of Pre-Service Teachers: Content Acquisition and Implementation
Research Council on Mathematics Learning 38th Annual Conference

Abstract
Future teachers see proper pedagogical methods, train in appropriate educational fields, and have field experience in classrooms. One concern to explore is whether these future teachers feel they are prepared to perform. Participants are undergraduate pre-service teachers. Data is gathered in a mathematics course required of the elementary and middle level teacher certification programs. An examination of pre-service teachers’ assessment of their ability to, as well their response to the process used to, teach the subject will occur. Self-evaluation responses will be evaluated for trends and whether there was in increase in self-efficacy regarding their ability to perform teaching tasks.
