The premise of the 15th ICMI Study is that teachers are key
to students' opportunities to learn mathematics. What teachers of
mathematics know, care about, and do is a product of their experiences
and socialization, together with the impact of their professional
education. The Professional Education and Development of Teachers of
Mathematics assembles important new international work- development,
research, theory and practice - concerning the professional education of
teachers of mathematics. As it examines critical areas to reveal what is
known and what significant questions and problems warrant collective
attention, the volume also contributes to the strengthening of the
international community of mathematics educators.
The Professional Education and Development of Teachers of Mathematics
is of interest to the mathematics education community as well as to
other researchers, practitioners and policy makers concerned with the
professional education of teachers.
