Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching in Undergraduate Contexts: A Literature Review
Page: 1482
The Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) framework is one of the foundational models to explore professional knowledge of mathematics teachers. Although MKT was originally developed for the elementary level, the knowledge required in teaching contexts has made the framework applicable across various levels. Over time, the framework has been utilized for higher grades. This review asks: What patterns emerge regarding the theoretical frameworks utilized, methods employed, purposes, and participant selection in MKT studies focused on university-level teaching? This report presents themes and identifies gaps in MKT studies in undergraduate contexts.
