Is November 1917 the Florida State Department of Education and the college of Arts and Sciences at the University of Florida sponsored a study under my direction to determine ways of improving certain parts of the present secondary mathematics curriculum. Thirty-six secondary mathematics teachers, representing all areas of subject matter, all types of schools, and all sections of the state were selected to make the study. Work on the project was begun at the University of Florida on June 14, 1948.

Given the growing attention on modelling in school mathematics curriculum, prospective teachers are likely to need special help to develop a rich sense of mathematical modelling [MM] and effective classroom practices to support students’ development of MM competencies. This paper is based on a study involving the use of inquiry-based activities to engage prospective secondary mathematics teachers [PTs] in developing such knowledge of MM for teaching. Participants were students in a mathematics education course. Data sources included course work and field notes. We report findings related to the inquirybased activities and the learning they afforded in the participants’ understanding of specific components of problem-solving [PS] and MM knowledge for teaching and the relationship between them.

The Subject

There is currently much ferment in the field of teacher preparation. New programs are being designed, and considerable emphasis is being placed on the use of new media. For example, see references [13] and [6].* The specialization in mathematics of both elementary and secondary mathematics teachers has received a great deal of attention over the past few years, particularly through the work of the Panel on Teacher Education of CUPM [16] and the Cambridge Conference on Teacher Training [12]. The subject-matter preparation of a teacher, however, cannot be entirely disassociated from his professional preparation. It is widely accepted that knowledge of mathematics by a mathematics teacher is but a necessary, not a sufficient, preparation for his job.

The University

Rutgers University was chartered as Queen's College on November 10, 1766. It was the eighth institution of higher education founded in Colonial America prior to the Revolutionary War. From its modest beginning in the New Brunswick area the University has grown to eight separately organized undergraduate colleges in three areas of the State, with a wide range of offerings in liberal and applied arts and sciences.
