  6. Initial offering of the course – evidence of development of SKT • Participants in all sections took a test of SKT designed by the Learning Mathematics for Teaching Project: http://sitemaker.umich.edu/lmt/home • Initial offering of the course – SKT test results: On average, participants improved their SKT scores by 0.87 standard deviations (M = 0.87, SD = 0.53), t (79) = 14.71, p < .0001, 95% CI [.75, .99].

  7. Subsequent offering of the course – evidence of SKT and subject matter knowledge development • On the LMT test, the mean difference between pretest and posttest scores was significant (N = 22, M = 0.64, SD = 0.52), t (21) = 5.79, p < .0001, 95% CI [0.41, 0.87]. • The CAOS test (https://apps3.cehd.umn.edu/artist/caos.html) was also administered as a measure of subject matter knowledge development. • The mean difference between CAOS pretest and posttest scores was significant (N = 21, M = 15, SD = 12.01), t (20) = 5.72, p < .0001, 95% CI [9.53, 20.47].
