First International Mathematics Teacher Education Study (TEDS-M)

该项目将研究作为国际教育成就评估协会（IEA）网络一部分的40个国家的数学教师是如何准备的。具体而言，研究将解决以下问题：1。未来的小学和初中教师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高成就国家发现的那种苛刻的数学课程？2. 这些未来的教师有哪些学习机会可以让他们获得这些知识？3. 在支持这些教师达到数学及相关教学知识的水平和深度方面，有哪些计划和实施的政策？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?
