First International Mathematics Teacher Education Study (TEDS-M)

该项目将研究40个国家的数学教师是如何培养的，这些国家是国际教育成就评估协会(IEA)网络的一部分。具体地说，这项研究将解决以下问题：1.未来的小学和初中教师获得的数学和相关教学知识的水平和深度是什么，使他们能够教授目前在成绩较高的国家发现的那种要求很高的数学课程？2.这些未来的教师可以获得什么学习机会，使他们能够获得这些知识？3.有哪些预期和实施的政策来支持这些教师达到数学和相关教学知识的水平和深度？教师政策如何影响他们在国家和机构层面学习数学的机会结构？

The project will study how teachers of mathematics are prepared across 40 countries that are part of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) network. Specifically, the study will address the following questions: 1. What is the level and depth of the mathematics and related teaching knowledge attained by prospective primary and lower secondary teachers that enables them to teach the kind of demanding mathematics curricula currently found in the higher achieving countries? 2. What learning opportunities available to these prospective teachers enable them to attain such knowledge? 3. What are the intended and implemented policies that support these teachers' achieved level and depth of mathematics and related teaching knowledge? How do teacher policies influence the structure of their opportunities to learn mathematics at national and institutional levels?
