INVESTIGACIÓN INTERNACIONAL SOBRE FORMACIÓN INICIAL DOCENTE EN MATEMÁTICAS

Abstract

The “Teacher Education Study in Mathematics” (TEDS-M), which is carried out under the aegis of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), is a comparative
study of teacher education with a focus on the preparation of teachers of mathematics at the primary and lower secondary levels. The overall goal of this study is to fínd better ways to help teachers learn what they need to know to teach mathematics well at these school levels. TEDS-M will pay particular attention to the links between teacher education policies, practices and outcomes in about 15 countries. The study will provide participating countries with a valuable opportunity to conduct research on their own teacher education system and to learn from approaches used in other countries.
