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.
“This book would be helpful to researchers who are interested in conducting research on mathematics teacher education. The focus of this book is on beginning mathematics teachers at the primary and secondary levels.” (Mary Beth Rollick, MAA Reviews, April 5, 2021)
