ABSTRACT

This paper explores the necessity and methodology of constructing a case library to enhance the mathematics instructional design competency of Master of Education (M.Ed.) students. By analyzing current deficiencies in the cultivation of instructional design skills among M.Ed. students, the study identifies the core components of mathematics instructional design competency and elaborates on the principles for case library construction, content selection criteria, classification system, and evaluation mechanisms. The findings indicate that a high-quality mathematics teaching case library can effectively improve M. Ed. students' instructional design abilities, reflective thinking, and innovation skills. Additionally, the paper proposes specific implementation strategies and future development directions for the case library, offering valuable insights for mathematics teacher education.
