Study of the Effects of a Mathematics Teacher Education Program: What Went Wrong?

What is it about?

If we want to understand what works in studies of teacher education programs, we also need to understand what does not work. In this article, we discuss why a study evaluating the effects of an education program on implementation practices yielded unexpected results. Interviews with a sample of teacher graduates from the program revealed that the program did have effects on implementation practices that were not evident in the original study. These effects are in the form of increased student partic-ipation, teamwork and the conception of error as opportunity.
