Zusammenfassung:	This mixed-methods study examines effects of implementing a mock edTPA task on prospective elementary teachers' perceptions of teaching effectiveness. Results from the Mathematics Teaching Efficacy Beliefs Instrument document a significant change in participants' beliefs that they can effectively teach mathematics. Qualitative results illuminate participants' growing confidence in their understanding of elementary mathematics, their ability to recognize and attend to children's thinking, and their use of pedagogical tools and resources to support children's learning.
