Abstract

This chapter attempts to trace the development of mathematics teacher education over the last two centuries. The discussion focuses primarily on Europe and North America. An understanding that the government must take part in preparing teachers for secondary education, and an appreciation of what such preparation must consist of, did not emerge all at once and everywhere in the same manner. Gradually, examinations for teachers came to play an important role, as did special forms of professional preparation. Approaches to the subject-oriented and professional sides of teacher preparation changed over time, occurring differently in different countries. The challenges and issues in mathematics teacher education discussed in this chapter in many cases remain pressing and influential to this day.
