Opis

What is effective mathematics teaching? This book represents the first purposeful cross-cultural collection of studies to answer this question from teachers perspectives. It focuses particularly on how teachers view effective teaching of mathematics. Teachers voices are heard and celebrated throughout the studies reported in this volume. These studies are drawn from many parts of the world representing both Eastern and Western cultural traditions. The editors and authors have deliberately included the views of teachers and educators from different cultural backgrounds, taking into account that beliefs on effective mathematics teaching and its features are highly influenced by ones own culture. The book will provide readers and scholars with the stimulus to take the ideas presented and expand on them in ways that help improve mathematics education for children, teachers and researchers in both the East and the West.
