The idea of teachers Learning through Teaching (LTT) - when
presented to a naive bystander - appears as an oxymoron. Are we not
supposed to learn before we teach? After all, under the usual
circumstances, learning is the task for those who are being taught,
not of those who teach. However, this book is about the learning of
teachers, not the learning of students. It is an ancient wisdom
that the best way to "truly learn" something is to teach it to
others. Nevertheless, once a teacher has taught a particular topic
or concept and, consequently, "truly learned" it, what is left for
this teacher to learn? As evident in this book, the experience of
teaching presents teachers with an exciting opp- tunity for
learning throughout their entire career. This means acquiring a
"better" understanding of what is being taught, and, moreover,
learning a variety of new things. What these new things may be and
how they are learned is addressed in the collection of chapters in
this volume. LTT is acknowledged by multiple researchers and
mathematics educators. In the rst chapter, Leikin and Zazkis review
literature that recognizes this phenomenon and stress that only a
small number of studies attend systematically to LTT p- cesses. The
authors in this volume purposefully analyze the teaching of
mathematics as a source for teachers' own learning."
