摘要：This study examines the attitudes and developing practices of a cohort of preservice secondary school mathematics (PSSM) teachers preparing to teach in urban contexts. Data sources included a survey taken by these PSSM students in fall semester and again after student teaching in the spring semester. Interviews and observations were conducted, and fieldnotes taken, at the beginning and after their student teaching internship, to determine the extent of attitude changes and development practices in regard to teaching mathematics. Findings indicated that the PSSM teachers' attitudes changed positively except for one student. Further positive changes were reflected in alignment to willingness and commitment in teaching mathematics in urban contexts.
