Research on the Instructional Design Ability of Pre-service Mathematics Teachers in China: A Review

The pre-service mathematics teachers will work in middle school or primary school in the future. The level of their instructional design ability will directly affect the quality of teaching, the learning efficiency of students in the classroom, and teaching progress. Recently, many scholars have researched the instructional design ability of pre-service mathematics teachers in China. But there is no literature summarizing this aspect. Therefore, We reviewed relevant literature by using the literature research method in this paper and drew the following conclusions: (1) Current research on the instructional design ability of pre-service mathematics teachers in China focuses on the composition of the instructional design ability, the status quo of instructional design of pre-service mathematics teachers, the level of instructional design ability, the influencing factors of instructional design ability, and suggestions to improve the instructional design ability of pre-service mathematics teachers; (2) There are many kinds of research on the composition of instructional design ability of pre-service mathematics teachers and the status quo of instructional design. There are few studies on the influencing factors of instructional design ability of pre-service mathematics teachers. (3) The influencing factors are incomplete, and the deep research is the gaps in current that the relationship of influencing factors, the influencing path, and the main influencing factors. Additionally, the suggestions to improve the instructional design ability of pre-service mathematics teachers are so broad. In general, those conclusions revealed the research situation and found the deficiencies and gaps in the research on the teaching design ability of pre-service mathematics teachers in China. More importantly, which provides the next research directions to improve the teaching design ability of pre-service mathematics teachers in China for scholars and experts.
