Abstract
This project addresses a key identified
need in Australia:
the provision of quality teachers of mathematics at all levels of the
pre-tertiary system through evidence-based improvement of pre-service teacher
education programs. It is timely in view of the recent development of national
standards for Graduate Teachers and calls for greater accountability for
tertiary institutions. The project will provide tools for universities to
monitor their mathematics education courses in terms of students’ outcomes, and
processes to bring about changes based on the evidence collected. It will
provide guidance to teacher education institutions about effective programs and
a model for other disciplines to develop accountability tools. Ultimately, the
project will contribute to a national culture of evidence-based tertiary
pre-service teacher education programs.
