Mathematical website constructions for prospective elementary school teachers

Abstract

This study explored the performance of pre-service elementary school mathematics teachers who created, modified, and uploaded web pages for a future classroom site. Results showed the prospective teachers were successful: (1) using a web page editor, images, and links to prepare their individual website projects; and (2) completing examination items related to website construction. More than 70% of the future teachers indicated they enjoyed the project, and an equal percentage reported they had learned web page editing skills. Suggestions for enhancing the changed curriculum included increasing the emphasis on mathematics learning and better integrating content on spreadsheets and websites.
