商品簡介
Fourteen articles, drawn from the International Conference on Mathematics Teacher Education (held in Taipei, Taiwan, in May, 1999) comparatively evaluate math teacher training programs from different societies and cultures. After examining different research perspectives on teacher education, articles look at the kinds of mathematical experiences of teachers and the effects on teaching. Other articles look at specific programs from around the world and discuss their relative effectiveness. Finally attempts are made to look at the topic as situated in the complex interrelationships of teachers, institutions, societies, and students. Annotation c.
