Phatudi, Nkidi Caroline Ramollo, Jeanette Khabonina UCTD Initial teacher education programme Student teachers Foundation Phase mathematics pedagogical knowledge Foundation Phase mathematics content knowledge Foundation Phase mathematics Mathematics lecturers Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2014. The focus of this study is on the Foundation Phase mathematical and pedagogical knowledge construction. This study is about how two lecturers and a number of final year B.Ed. Foundation Phase student teachers construct Foundation Phase mathematical and pedagogical knowledge during the initial teacher education programme. The initial B.Ed. Foundation Phase teacher education provides student teachers with different mathematical knowledge for teaching. A Foundation Phase mathematics pedagogical knowledge construction framework was utilised to generate and analyse data. The Foundation Phase mathematics pedagogical knowledge construction framework is developed with the assumption that the integrated learning knowledge and the process of pedagogical reasoning action is a continuous process. Furthermore, it is assumed that student teachers’ active participation in their learning and paddling through the pedagogical reasoning action process, leads to the construction of Foundation Phase mathematical pedagogical knowledge. The study utilised a qualitative case study design to investigate how two initial teacher education programmes construct Foundation Phase mathematical pedagogical knowledge in their programme to prepare student teachers to teach Foundation Phase mathematics. Data were collected from Foundation Phase mathematics lecturers through semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews with final year Foundation Phase student teachers as well as document analysis from the institutions to achieve triangulation. Data analysis and findings were based on themes and categories that emerged. The findings suggest that Foundation Phase mathematical and pedagogical knowledge construction is an interconnected and continuous process that includes different types of knowledge and pedagogical reasoning. tm2015 Educational Psychology MEd Unrestricted 2015-07-02T11:05:53Z 2015-07-02T11:05:53Z 2015/04/29 2014 Dissertation Ramollo, JK 2014, The construction of Foundation Phase Mathematics Pedagogy through Initial Teacher Education Programmes, MEd Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/45896> A2015 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/45896 en © 2015 University of Pretoria.
