Book review: Summing up mathematics teacher education
نویسنده
چکیده
This review examines two recent collective publications that set out to survey and synthesise knowledge in the field of mathematics teacher education. Both allude to the timeliness of such an enterprise given the growth and institutionalisation of research in this field since the early to mid 1990s. They feature an extensive (and often overlapping) authorship drawn from active researchers in the field. And both books incorporate some degree of invited comment (to which I shall make only sparing reference, although these contributions enrich appreciation of the contents).
