This article reports on a second national survey of higher education institutions in the USA to answer the question “Who teaches mathematics content courses for prospective elementary teachers, and what are these instructors’ academic and teaching backgrounds?” and addresses valuable information not collected with the first survey conducted in 2010. We surveyed 1740 institutions and a faculty member from each of 413 institutions (23.7%) participated in the survey. The survey results demonstrate that the majority of these institutions are not meeting the recommendations of the Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences (2012) and the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (2017) for prospective elementary teachers to take at least 12 semester-hour credits of mathematics content designed specifically for them. The data do indicate that there is movement toward more activity-based approaches for these courses as compared to the 2010 survey. Additionally, there is an increase in these courses having instructors with doctorates in mathematics education as well as an increase in instructors having grades 7–12 teaching experience. Most instructors for these courses do not have elementary teaching experience and have likely not had opportunities to think deeply about the important ideas in elementary mathematics. While most institutions still do not provide training and/or support for these instructors, formalized support and training appear to be increasing since the 2010 survey.

谁在美国为准小学教师教授数学内容课程?第二次国家调查的结果

本文报道了美国第二次对高等教育机构进行的全国性调查,以回答“谁为准小学教师教授数学内容课程,这些教师的学术和教学背景是什么?”的问题。并解决了2010年进行的首次调查未收集到的有价值的信息。我们对1740所机构进行了调查,来自413所机构中的每位教师(23.7%)参与了调查。调查结果表明,这些机构中的大多数都未达到数学科学会议委员会(2012)和数学教师教育者协会(2017)的建议,即准初等教育者至少要获得12个学时小时的数学学分专为他们设计的内容。数据确实表明,与2010年的调查相比,这些课程正在朝着更多基于活动的方法发展。此外,这些课程中具有数学教育博士学位的讲师的人数也有所增加,并且具有7-12年级教学经验的讲师的人数也有所增加。这些课程的大多数讲师没有基础教学经验,并且可能没有机会深入思考基础数学中的重要思想。尽管大多数机构仍不为这些教员提供培训和/或支持,但自2010年调查以来,正规化的支持和培训似乎正在增加。这些课程增加了具有数学教育博士学位的讲师的人数,并且增加了具有7-12年级教学经验的讲师的人数。这些课程的大多数讲师没有基础教学经验,并且可能没有机会深入思考基础数学中的重要思想。尽管大多数机构仍不为这些教员提供培训和/或支持,但自2010年调查以来,正规化的支持和培训似乎正在增加。这些课程增加了具有数学教育博士学位的讲师的人数,并且增加了具有7-12年级教学经验的讲师的人数。这些课程的大多数讲师没有基础教学经验,并且可能没有机会深入思考基础数学中的重要思想。尽管大多数机构仍不为这些教员提供培训和/或支持,但自2010年调查以来,正规化的支持和培训似乎正在增加。
