Introduction to the papers of TWG18: Mathematics teacher education and professional development
Résumé
The study of mathematics teacher education and professional development has been a central focus of research over recent decades. Research activities have focused on topics such as reflection, collaboration and teachers’ professional growth. In particular, models and programmes of professional development, as well as their respective content, methods, and impacts have been described and analysed. Research has increasingly focused not only on the participating teachers, but also on the role of teacher educators and academic researchers. So far, the research community has attempted to develop theoretical and methodological frameworks to both describe and explain the complex topic of mathematics teacher education and professional development.
The goal of TWG18 was to offer a communicative, collegial and critical forum for the discussion of these and other related issues, which would allow diverse perspectives and theoretical approaches to contribute to the development of our knowledge and understanding as researchers, educators and practitioners.
