Abstract

To meet the demand of incoming school curriculum reform focusing on competency-based learning in Vietnam, this paper reports on an innovation project on developing secondary mathematics preservice teachers’ (PSTs) mathematical literacy and preparing them to teach mathematics contextually. We developed curriculum and studied the effectiveness of the implementation to a secondary mathematics PST education program that integrates mathematical literacy (ML) in methods courses. The courses offer the PSTs opportunities to experience ML as active learners and prepare them to teach ML. The preliminary results on a project-based modeling task show that the PSTs begin to develop an understanding of ML when they take real-life considerations into account in solving the authentic problem. Discussion about the tension between simplifying models and reflecting the real problem, and directions for future study are suggested.
