Doctoral programs are an important feature of academia. They foster
professional development among future researchers and academicians.
Ensuring the quality of these programs and providing quality
mentorship encourages success among program participants and
provides a high quality of preparedness for the professional world.
Teaching and Learning Perspectives on Doctoral Programs in
Education: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a critical
scholarly publication that examines the effectiveness of doctoral
programs and strategies for successful academic advisement. The
book explores doctoral programs from three perspectives: designing
a doctoral program, teaching/mentoring within a doctoral program,
and being a student in a doctoral program. Featuring a wide range
of topics such as higher education, professional development, and
course design, this book is ideal for instructional designers,
academicians, academic advisers, administrators, researchers,
education professionals, and doctoral students attempting to
successfully navigate a doctoral program.
The 14 chapters in this monograph provide support for mathematics
teacher educators in both their Practical Knowledge and their
Professional Knowledge. Individually, these articles provide
insights into advancing our thinking about professional
development, teacher preparation, and program development.
Collectively, they have the potential to help the field of
mathematics teacher education move forward in framing effective
practices in mathematics teacher education and developing a
focused, cohesive research agenda. ATME's Monograph 5, therefore,
is a superb resource for mathematics teacher education.
