Abstract
Within the mathematics education research community there is growing interest in theories that view teachers' learning as a form of participation in social and cultural practices. This paper explores what we can learn from research that takes a sociocultural perspective on learning to teach, and how such research might provide a framework for understanding the work of mathematics teacher-educator-researchers. These questions are addressed with particular reference to Valsiner's zone theory, drawing on studies that take contrasting approaches to its application.
