Abstract

This paper describes the development of a web-based resource designed to support preservice mathematics teachers on school practice. The development of the site resulted in part from a needs analysis conducted with a focus group of students and reported on below. As a result of focus group discussions with students from the target group, the website was developed and refined to provide a comprehensive resource to suit their needs while on professional practice. Elements of the site, together with potential further developments and research, are described.
