Professional Development and Knowledge of Mathematics Teachers
Энэ электрон номын тухай
Professional Development and Knowledge of Mathematics Teachers addresses the underlying characteristics of mathematics teacher education, and those professional development contexts that have a positive impact on teachers’ professional learning. Recognizing the impact of broader institutional settings on mathematics teaching and teacher professional development, the editors suggest bridging the gaps between theoretical practices and methodological approaches in the field by focusing on and conceptualizing the following relational factors:
- The study of mathematics teaching and classroom situations
- Researching teacher and teacher educator knowledge, since these issues inform the quality of mathematics teaching directly
- Mathematics teacher education and professional development, focusing on design principles and the impact they have on teacher professional learning
Combining central issues of mathematics teaching, knowledge and professional development, the chapters in this volume address each of the above factors and provide profound considerations on both theoretical and practical levels. This book will be an essential resource for researchers, teachers and students working in the fields of mathematics teaching and mathematics teacher professional development.
