This chapter focuses on one profile of mathematics teacher educators: in-service secondary school mathematics teachers who host and mentor prospective teachers, referred to as Mathematics Teaching Practice Teachers (MTPTs). We present results from a case study conducted in Uruguay in the context of the initial teacher education. Drawing on studies regarding mathematics teachers’ work of teaching, we characterize and describe the work of MTPTs. We demonstrate that their work comprises four fundamental mentoring tasks: explaining, observing, showing, and providing feedback. These tasks are described in terms of the specific actions that MTPTs undertake to help prospective teachers learn to teach mathematics. This characterization outlines MTPTs’ expertise as teacher educators and illustrates their understanding of teaching mathematics.

摘要

This chapter focuses on one profile of mathematics teacher educators: in-service secondary school mathematics teachers who host and mentor prospective teachers, referred to as Mathematics Teaching Practice Teachers (MTPTs). We present results from a case study conducted in Uruguay in the context of the initial teacher education. Drawing on studies regarding mathematics teachers’ work of teaching, we characterize and describe the work of MTPTs. We demonstrate that their work comprises four fundamental mentoring tasks: explaining, observing, showing, and providing feedback. These tasks are described in terms of the specific actions that MTPTs undertake to help prospective teachers learn to teach mathematics. This characterization outlines MTPTs’ expertise as teacher educators and illustrates their understanding of teaching mathematics.
