Research on the preparation and continued development of
mathematics teachers is becoming an increasingly important subset
of mathematics education research. Such research explores the
attributes, knowledge, skills and beliefs of mathematics teachers
as well as methods for assessing and developing these critical
aspects of teachers and influences on teaching.
"Research Trends in Mathematics Teacher Education" focuses on
three major themes in current mathematics teacher education
research: mathematical knowledge for teaching, teacher beliefs and
identities, and tools and techniques to support teacher learning.
Through careful reports of individual research studies and
cross-study syntheses of the state of research in these areas, the
book provides insights into teachers' learning processes and how
these processes can be harnessed to develop effective teachers.
Chapters investigate bedrock skills needed for working with primary
and secondary learners (writing relevant problems, planning
lessons, being attentive to student learning) and illustrate how
knowledge can be accessed, assessed, and nurtured over the course
of a teaching career. Commentaries provide context for current
research while identifying areas deserving future study. Included
among the topics: Teachers' curricular knowledgeTeachers' personal
and classroom mathematicsTeachers' learning journeys toward
reasoning and sense-makingTeachers' transitions in
noticingTeachers' uses of a learning trajectory as a tool for
mathematics lesson planning
A unique and timely set of perspectives on the professional
development of mathematics teachers at all stages of their careers,
"Research Trends in Mathematics Teacher Education" brings clarity
and practical advice to researchers as well as practitioners in
this increasingly critical arena."
