Abstract

Teachers` mathematical content knowledge (MCK) is crucial and determines how they will teach. Identifying factors that develop pre-service teachers` (PSTs) MCK will assist them to extend their knowledge for teaching. This paper reports on factors that assisted two PSTs to develop MCK during coursework and practicum experiences, but also highlights limitations of the learning experiences intended to extend MCK. The results indicate that factors such as learner and teacher identity, sustained engagement and quality of teaching experiences should be considered when designing improvements to PSTs` practicum experiences.
