Abstract
Secondary mathematics prospective teachers can have conflicting experiences during their initial teacher education programme about the most appropriate pedagogies for their own learning and future classrooms. This chapter explores the beliefs of mathematics teacher educators (mathematics educators and mathematicians) to investigate how these inform their knowledge and practice and how prospective teachers describe differences in the beliefs communicated by those who teach them. In this mixed-methods study, Australian mathematicians and mathematics educators were surveyed about their beliefs about mathematics and mathematics teaching and learning. Follow-up interviews further explored their beliefs and decision-making about pedagogy used with prospective teachers. Prospective teachers completed the same survey, and interviews further explored the meanings of mathematics and mathematics teaching and learning that they take from their studies. Boundary dialogues between mathematicians and mathematics educators will allow them to collaborate to develop greater coherence for prospective teachers across their studies and promote school students’ outcomes.
