Funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), the School of Education, UCC and the Irish Research Council-Funded Study: Re-imagininging Initial Teacher Identity and Learning (Rii-TIL) Study. Aims: To build a coalition of interest in the FIRSTMATH study given its potential to inform both teacher education and mathematics education initiatives in Ireland. Participants: 20+ Leading Mathematics and Teacher Education Researchers on FIRSTMATH and Key Stakeholders involved in Mathematics and Teacher Education. What is FIRSTMATH? FIRSTMATH is a cross-national study of novice teachersÂ’ (i.e. years 1-5) mathematical knowledge for teaching and the influence of previous preparation, school context and opportunities to learn-on-the-job, on that knowledge. IMPACT: The results of this study will provide much needed empirical evidence about the influence of school context and on-the-job opportunities to learn on mathematics teachersÂ’ knowledge, and on the nature of the knowledge that is useful in and for mathematics teaching students in diverse settings and school contexts.
