Abstract | The conceptual development of place value is often described as the most significant of all number concepts which, when understood, enables students to develop a comprehensive sense of number (Reys, Lindquist, Lambdin, & Smith, 2009). Disappointingly, the development of place value is seen as an elusive concept for pre-service teachers. This paper reports on a study to determine the effect of a problem-based learning (PBL) approach versus a traditional teacher-centred instructional approach in a university course on pre-service teacher’s content knowledge and conceptual understanding of place value. |
