Dr. Hala Al-Shawa

Abstract
The aim is to investigate the implementation degree of the national teacher professional standards in the university mathematical educational courses from pre-service teachers' perspectives in Jordan. A questionnaire with 36 items was collected from 380 pre-service teachers, (195) students from the University of Jordan and (185) students from the Hashemite University. It consisted of five dimensions ( academic and special pedagogical knowledge, planning, implementation instruction, assessment of students' learning and instruction, and self development).The findings indicated the implementation degree of the national teacher professional standards in the mathematical educational courses from pre-service teachers' perspectives in Jordan was medium. There were no significant differences between students’ perspectives with respect to the specialization area but there were significant differences with respect to the university in behalf of the University of Jordan. The researcher recommended reviewing the mathematical educational courses at the university level.
