The First Five Years of Teaching Mathematics (FIRSTMATH)

Beschreibung

This book reports on an innovative study into the first five years of mathematics teaching: FIRSTMATH. For the first time, the study has developed a viable methodology to analyze the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of beginning mathematics teachers as well as instruments to explore the contexts where they work. The book provides a step by step account of this exploratory (proof-of-concept) research study, using a comparative and international approach, and introduces readers to the challenges entailed.
The FIRSTMATH study promises the development of methods and strategies to make it possible for teacher educators and future teachers to examine (and improve on) their own practices in an important STEM area.

The first study on the first five years of mathematics teaching in international and comparative perspective Provides an alternative to value-added models for the study of the outcomes of higher education and outcomes of their graduates more generally A prototype for the first large scale assessment of beginning teachers’ knowledge of mathematics and mathematics pedagogy Framework, methods and other information may support the replication of similar studies across multiple settings
