The Mathematics Teacher in the Digital Era: International Research on Professional Learning and Practice

This book is the second edition of “The Mathematics Teacher in the Digital Era. An International Perspective on Technology Focused Professional Development” that appeared eight years earlier, in 2014 (Clark-Wilson et al., 2014). Over the eight years between the two editions there has been a growing emphasis on the teacher's role in technology-enhanced educational environments, leading to new theoretical and practical findings and implications for teacher education both at the pre-service and in-service levels. The chapters address teachers’ experiences with technology, including their time as mathematics learners in university undergraduate courses, their participation in university-based pre-service teacher education courses, their involvement in university-based teacher education courses, and their participation in research projects as in-service teachers. The book offers a diverse collage of concerns and perspectives on research and practice. So, instead of summarizing the content of each chapter, we will look at cross-sections of the book, capturing themes that we believe will be of interest to a range of readers, from university researchers, to in-service teachers, pre-service teachers and teacher educators.
