Mathematics Teachers in Transition (Studies in Mathematical Thinking and Learning Series)

By Elizabeth Fennema and Barbara Scott Nelson

There is now a growing body of research on the nature of teacher change as it occurs in the context of the mathematics education reform movement. The chapters in this book have grown from and contribute to that stream of work. Studies of large-scale empirical work, long-term programs of research, and theoretical contributions to the understsanding of teacher change are reported, along with case studies of individual teachers, groups of teachers, and intervention projects. These chapters have been organized according to their general type into three sections. Theoretical perspectives on teacher change, context and instructional change, and professional development programs in action. The introduction and conclusion take an orthogonal cut through that organization to ask where professionals have come in the years since 1989 and to sketch out issues that lie ahead.
