  2. 16. Desires for mathematics teachers and their knowledge : Practicum, practices, and policy in mathematics teacher education

    Author : Lisa Österling; Iben Maj Christiansen; Annica Andersson; Ilana Horn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Teacher education; practicum; mathematics; commognition; images; legitimation code theory; policy; assessment; third spaces; reasoned judgement; matematikämnets didaktik; Mathematics Education;

    Abstract : This dissertation is driven by questions about images of desired teachers, privileged teacher knowledge, and access to knowledge in teacher education. My position is that images of particular teachers restrict access to teacher education, while visible knowledge increases epistemic access. READ MORE
