Professional Development of Mathematics Teachers: An Asian Perspective (1st ed. 2017 edition.)

This book offers a counterpart to the extensive corpus of literature available on the same topic from a Western perspective.

It showcases innovative approaches to professional development of mathematics teachers in Asian countries, and reports on both empirical and expository studies of teachers' professional development in these counties.

It provides scholars from non-English-speaking and under-represented Asian countries the opportunity to engage in discourse with other scholars in the field, and is the first book to present substantial contributions from scholars in Asia on the professional development of mathematics teachers in their respective countries.

It includes perspectives that shed valuable light on how the approaches pursued in Asian countries resemble or differ from those in the West.
