Abstract

This book chapter employs a mixed-methods survey research design, integrating both closed- and open-ended questions to explore the perceptions of pre-service teachers in their initial training phases regarding their responsibilities in embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles into the instruction of mathematical proficiency. A cohort of forty-two pre-service teachers participated in this study. The results revealed that pre-service teachers who value DEI are more likely to advocate for equitable mathematical proficiency, while those confident in addressing DEI-related challenges are inclined to adopt inclusive pedagogical practices in their future teaching environments; furthermore, the pre-service teachers' viewpoints on DEI and mathematical proficiency significantly influence their future instructional strategies. The insights derived from this research have the potential to enhance professional development initiatives within teacher education programs aimed at fostering inclusive mathematics education.
