This essay critically examines the circulation of what appear to be a small set of ‘core’ ideas that are influencing national and institutional policies of teacher education.
The author explores the emergence of new players in teacher education internationally, including individuals, corporations, and international bodies.
Using policy documents, influential research studies, university program statements, and interviews, the essay provides a discursive analysis of the contradictory voices in what is becoming a global conversation of teacher education.
In many ways, these ideas marginalize the voices of teachers and teacher educators.
They tend to narrow the definitions of education and teaching.
As a counterpoint to these widely circulating arguments, the author explores how reciprocal teacher education exchange programs in China and the US create opportunities for alternative constructions of visions of teaching and teacher learning.

This article reports how the general pedagogical knowledge test was conceptualized in the context of Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics. The researchers from the United States, Germany, and Taiwan worked together and used representative samples of future middle school teachers in these countries from a survey which conducted on 2008. Findings revealed that U.S. future middle school teachers were significantly outperformed by future teachers in Germany and Taiwan. Furthermore, the data revealed that U.S. future middle school teachers had a relative strength in generating classroom strategies but a weakness in recalling knowledge and analyzing problems.

The purpose of this article is to add to and challenge the conversations about what learning to teach mathematics requires and how its complexity makes content-specific induction and rich opportunities to learn not only desirable but also essential. The authors report on the cases of two well-started novice mathematics teachers. The two new teachers made considerable progress in their teaching. However, there was still much about the complexity of teaching, specifically teaching math, that the new teachers had to learn.

This study explores social expectations around adequate knowledge for prospective secondary mathematics teachers in South Korea and the United States. The authors selected a sample of 49 teacher preparation institutions in South Korea and the United States. The findings suggest that transnational commonalities and national differences exist simultaneously, and examining both is necessary to better understand teacher knowledge.
