Description
Summary:The objectives of this study were: 1) to develop a standard-based curriculum with a backward design process in the course for enhancing competency in management of mathematics instruction for the 3rd year undergraduate student teachers, Savannakhet Teachers College, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, 2) to investigate the results of implementing the standard-based curriculum with a backward design in the course for enhancing competency in management of mathematics instruction on the following issues: 2.1) mathematical knowledge and ability, 2.2) knowledge and understanding of mathematical learning management, 2.3 mathematics teachers’ trait, and 3) to examine student teachers’ satisfaction of the standard-based curriculum using a backward design process in the course for enhancing competency in management of mathematics instruction. The study process was divided into 3 steps: 1) investigate basic information for the development of standardbased curriculum with a backward design process, 2) create a standard-based curriculum with a backward design process in the course for enhancing competency in management of mathematics instruction and assess its appropriateness by experts, and 3) experiment in using the curriculum and examine the results of using it. A sample was 37 third year undergraduate student teachers of mathematics in Savannakhet Teachers College, who were enrolled in the first semester of academic year 2014 and selected by cluster random sampling. The instruments used in data collection were: a test of mathematical knowledge and ability, a test of knowledge and understanding on mathematical instruction, a form for measuring mathematics teachers’ trait, and a questionnaire of satisfaction with the curriculum. Statistics used in data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples. Findings of the study revealed as follows: 1. The curriculum developed consisted of the following components: 1) rationale, 2) basic concepts, 3) principles of curriculum 4) objectives, 5) learning standards and indicators, 6) structure of the curriculum, 7) guidelines for instructional management, 8) media and learning sources, 9) measurement and evaluation. The curriculum as assessed by experts was found appropriate at high level 2. Results of implementing the curriculum were as the following. 1) Mathematical ability of student teachers and Student teachers’ knowledge and understanding on mathematical instruction through learning with the curriculum after the treatment was significantly higher than that before learning at the.01 level. 2) The mathematics teachers’ trait of student teachers who learned through the developed curriculum was at high level and 3) Student teachers’ satisfaction with the curriculum was at high level.
