It is indicated that research on professional development programmes (PDPs) for mathematics teachers mostly concerns whether a programme affects the teachers' practice or student learning, while the teachers' learning is treated as a "black box." Calls have been made for a shared body of knowledge on teachers' professional learning and…

Propositional teacher knowledge is recognised as valuable in classroom teaching practice, yet little attention has been paid to it relative to practical knowledge. This mixed-methods study aimed to understand the relationship between teachers' propositional knowledge and their classroom teaching practice in the collaborative school context using…

This paper sought to explore the Knowledge of Algebra for Teaching and the algebra difficulties of In-field and Out-of-field Junior High School mathematics teachers using the expanded KAT framework. The study employed the descriptive survey design and involved the participation of 374 mathematics teachers using an achievement test instrument. The…

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed the widespread adoption of distance learning, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of how teacher knowledge evolves within the context of Teacher Professional Education (TPE) programs. Some research endeavors may employ evaluation methodologies that inadequately capture the nuanced dimensions of…

Competence in research is an attractive feature that should be established for all practitioners because specialists with training and expertise in research will recognize strategic thinking, interpretation, and synthesizing more easily. Hence, this study aimed to describe the knowledge competency among junior high school mathematics teachers on…

This article aims to discuss processes of transformation and mobilization of knowledge related to the history of Mathematics as a teaching approach for mathematics at the Basic Education level. The core of the discussion is to highlight ways to explore this theme and point out guidelines to integrate information related the historical development…

The purpose of this study is to reveal the concept definitions and examples of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers regarding sets. In this context, students' formal definitions, personal definitions and examples in sets were investigated. Concept of equal sets, subsets, union, intersection, compliment, and difference were considered as…

A faculty development workshop, focused on incorporating universal learning strategies into developmental mathematics courses, was created and utilized in a developmental mathematics department at an open-enrollment, mid-western university to ascertain the best methods for dissemination of essential learning strategies to developmental math…

Many studies have reported on the influence of teachers' conceptions of variability on different aspects of their professional knowledge for teaching statistics and their classroom practices. However, research on these kind of conceptions is still scarce, particularly in Latin American countries like Venezuela. In an effort to help fill this gap,…

It has been suggested that integrating reasoning and proof in mathematics teaching requires a special type of teacher knowledge -- Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching Proof (MKT-P). Yet, several important questions about the nature of MKT-P remain open, specifically, whether MKTP is a type of knowledge specific to teachers, and whether MKT-P can…

An exploration of factor analytic structure of the conceptions of mathematics scale among pre-service mathematics teachers in South-West Nigeria was conducted as evidence suggests paucity of research on psychometric properties of the conceptions of mathematics scale in Nigeria. This article through instrumentation research methodology reports the…

In the mathematics education literature, subject matter knowledge is well recognized as the cornerstone of a mathematics teacher's knowledge base. Though the 'Mathematics Problem', the declining standards of students' mathematical abilities upon entering tertiary education, is well documented in many countries, its effect on preservice mathematics…

We show how we used a national distribution of responses from 416 practicing teachers to items of a test of mathematical knowledge for teaching geometry to estimate changes in knowledge by a group of 11 practicing teachers who participated in a 2-year practice-based professional development programme. To draw a reliable interpretation of the…

Teachers' content knowledge impacts on what they teach, how they teach and what their students learn. In order to check whether the prospective teachers in a rural South African university know the mathematics content they are expected to teach in the schools, at least at the same depth as their future students expected to attain, the research on…

Due to the increased role of statistics in current curriculum standards, there is at present a call for attention to secondary teachers' knowledge for teaching statistics in teacher education. This article reports the results of a study that answered this call by addressing mathematics teachers' knowledge for teaching graphing of bivariate…
