Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Problem Based Learning(PBL)-based early childhood mathematics education classes on pre-service early childhood teachers’ mathematics teaching efficacy, mathematical attitude, and problem-solving ability. The study participants were 38 pre-service early childhood teachers attending a 4-year university in G City. The PBL-based early childhood mathematics education class used a combination of lecture-based and problem-based learning methods, and problem-based learning consisted of four PBL problems and was conducted for a total of 9 weeks. The research tools used were mathematics teaching efficacy, mathematical attitude, and problem-solving ability before and after. Data analysis was performed using a paired samples t-test using the SPSS 28 program. As a result of the study, PBL-based early childhood mathematics education classes were found to have a positive impact on improving the mathematics teaching efficacy, mathematical attitude, and problem-solving ability of pre-service early childhood teachers. Through this, the significance of the study is that it presented and verified a PBL-based mathematics teaching model that can be applied to the early childhood mathematics education classes of pre-service early childhood teachers.
