Abstract

Introduction: Mathematics plays a crucial role in the development of science and technology, and its importance is recognized at all educational levels. This study investigates the availability and utilization of mathematics facilities for the improvement and development of prospective teachers.


Methodology: This quantitative study targeted students from four universities in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. A questionnaire was distributed to 300 respondents, with 175 completed responses collected through proportionate random sampling. The questionnaire was validated by experts and its reliability confirmed using Cronbach’s Alpha. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).

Results/Findings: The findings revealed that most respondents strongly agreed that mathematical content knowledge significantly impacts the learning and understanding of prospective teachers. Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of practice in learning mathematics and emphasized the need for curriculum-based instruction that extends beyond exam preparation.

Future Direction: The study recommends developing a framework to address identified challenges, enhance mathematical content, improve pedagogical approaches, and ensure the availability of up-to-date facilities for prospective teachers.
