Borders in Mathematics Pre-Service Teacher Education (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book examines the current state of the field of mathematics pre-service teacher education through the theme of borders. Borders are ubiquitous; they can be used to define, classify, organize, make sense of, and/or group. There are many ways that the concept of a border illuminates the field of mathematics pre-service teacher education. Consequently, there are a multitude of responses to these borders: researchers and practitioners question, challenge, cross, blur, and erase them. Chapters include the following topics: explorations of mathematics across topics (e.g., geometry, algebra, probability) and with other disciplines (e.g., science, the arts, social sciences); challenging gender, cultural, and racial borders; exploring the structure and curriculum of teacher education programs; spaces inhabited by teacher education programs (e.g., university, community); and international collaborations and programs to promote cross-cultural sharing and learning. The book targets a readership of researchers and graduate students in integrated education studies, teacher education, practitioners of mathematics education, curriculum developers, and educational administrators and policy makers. ¿

Autor

Nenad Radakovic is an Assistant Professor and Mathematics Educator at the College of Charleston, Department of Teacher Education. His Ph.D. is in the field of Curriculum Studies and Teacher Development and his doctoral research was on the pedagogy of risk in the context of secondary mathematics. Radakovic has taught secondary mathematics in Croatia, and elementary, middle school, and secondary mathematics in Toronto, Canada. Prior to his appointment at the College of Charleston, Radakovic was a Sessional Lecturer at the University of Toronto where he taught a graduate course about holistic approaches to elementary mathematics and a graduate course about making secondary mathematics meaningful. He is a Service, Teaching, and Research (STaR) Fellow with the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators.  Limin Jao received her Ph.D. in Curriculum Studies and Teacher Development from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) of the University of Toronto, and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University. Her research interests include issues of exemplary teaching practice, teacher beliefs, and teacher education (pre-service and in-service), particularly in mathematics education contexts. In addition to teaching undergraduate and graduate level mathematics education courses, Jao is involved in various teacher professional development initiatives. A former secondary school mathematics teacher, Jao was also a museum educator for many years.

Rezensionen

"The multiple perspectives, paradigms, and issues addressed across the chapters of this book will make it a useful addition to the libraries of scholars whose teaching or research involves mathematics pre-service teacher education." (Duane Graysay, MAA Reviews, November 14, 2021)
