D. Tech. Education / The aim of the study is to explore the extent to which a University of Technology prepares pre-service teachers to teach the school Mathematics and Technology curriculum in South Africa. The study employed a combination of a qualitative method and case study approach. Participants were ten (10) Mathematics and nine (9) Technology pre-service teachers, totaling nineteen (19) participants. Data collection were done through an exploratory approach of document analyses, semi-structured interviews, and non-participant observations. The study was guided by two (2) conceptual frameworks, that is, Knowledge-Based for Teaching (Shulman, 1987) and the 7E instructional model from Eisenkraft (2003). This study found that Mathematics and Technology teacher training were not comprehensive enough to prepare pre-service teachers to teach the South African school curriculum.
