Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to explore the influences on, and tensions within, initial teacher education in mathematics, and to identify the research outcomes that might advance our understanding of learning and practices in this context. We have used a socio-spatial approach to organise our review into the three ‘spaces’ of policy, teacher educators and pre-service teachers, and to reveal tensions that exist between these spaces. Our analysis of the research highlighted the multiple roles of teacher educators—as researchers, teachers, collaborators and curriculum designers—as they mediate the tensions that occur between the spaces.
