Abstract

The study "Mathematics Teaching in the 21st Century (MT21)" focuses beyond others on the measurement of teachers' general pedagogical knowledge (GPK). GPK is regarded as a latent construct embedded in a larger theory of teachers' professional competence. It is laid out how GPK was defined and operationalized. As part of an international comparison GPK was measured with several complex vignettes. In the present paper, the results of future mathematics teachers' knowledge from four countries (Germany, South Korea, Taiwan, and the US) with very different teacher-education systems are presented. Significant and relevant differences between the four countries as well as between future teachers at the beginning and at the end of teacher education were found. The results are discussed with reference to cultural discourses about teacher education.
