In-service training of mathematics teachers
Abstract
Scope and Method of Study: Letters were written to 147 teachers and administrators in Oklahoma schools now using the School Mathematics Study Group material in their mathematics program. Responses to 52 letters were received from teachers representing 35 schools of the 55 schools in the state using SMSG material. Findings and Conclusions: Several problems of in-service training are listed with suggestions by experienced teachers as solutions. In-service training is defined as training that will not interrupt the teacher's regular teaching schedule. Several different types of in service training are listed. The different types vary with the individual needs of the teacher. The improvement of the preparation of the student for the mathematics of the modern world should be the final result of in-service training of teachers of mathematics.
