摘要
This article describes an innovative capstone mathematics course that links college mathematics with school mathematics and pedagogy. It describes how college juniors in a secondary mathematics teacher preparation program engage in leadership experiences that enable them to learn mathematics for teaching while developing student-centered pedagogical and assessment strategies. Examples show how students teach the class, complemented by excerpts from student journals containing students' perceptions of their learning. Preliminary research indicates the effectiveness of this course for preparing future mathematics teachers. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
