This volume combines established scholars' work with newcomers' perspectives to survey the emerging field, compare cross-cultural issues, and examine the roles of mathematics educators and mathematicians in preparing future teachers. The primary audience is university-based mathematics teacher educators and MTE researchers, and postgraduate research students seeking academic careers as MTEs. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 455 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 08 April 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the past decade and a half, the field of research in mathematics teacher education has experienced significant growth. Within this domain, there has been a growing interest in exploring how mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) themselves acquire and enhance their skills. Until recently, there were limited published studies on this topic, and the processes by which MTEs learn, the types of knowledge they need for effective teaching, and the ways in which they develop expertise in their field had not been thoroughly investigated. However, recent research in mathematics education has begun to shed light on the development of MTE expertise and the associated challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis timely volume brings together the latest research and insights from established scholars and newcomers to the field, with the aim of shaping the future development and directions of mathematics teacher education. It will provide a comprehensive survey of the emerging field, encompassing the work of both seasoned experts and emerging voices. By highlighting issues in the development of MTEs across different countries, the book will foster cross-cultural comparisons and contribute to the understanding of how mathematics teacher education can be enhanced globally. Additionally, it will examine the roles of mathematics educators and mathematicians in preparing future teachers of mathematics, highlighting the importance of collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe primary target audience for this book will be university-based mathematics teacher educators and MTE researchers, as well as postgraduate research students who are aspiring to pursue academic careers as MTEs. Furthermore, teacher educators from disciplines other than mathematics and education policy makers responsible for accreditation and quality control of initial teacher education programs may also find this book of interest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, the field of research in mathematics teacher education has witnessed substantial growth in recent years, and this volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars, educators, and policymakers alike. By examining the development of MTE expertise, cross-cultural comparisons, and the roles of mathematics educators and mathematicians, it aims to influence the future of mathematics teacher education and contribute to the improvement of teaching and learning in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 741g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030624101\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103364051194,"sku":"9783030624101","price":128.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_acfef755-cb53-4289-a866-87c11f5c4cbf.jpg?v=1669650182","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-learning-and-development-of-mathematics-teacher-educators-international-perspectives-and-challenges-9783030624101","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
