 Underqualified Math Teachers or Out-of-Field-Teaching in Mathematics - A Neglectable Field of Action?Günter Törner and
Anne Törner
A chapter in Mathematikunterricht im Kontext von Realität, Kultur und Lehrerprofessionalität, 2012, pp 196-206 from Springer Abstract: Zusammenfassung This attempt at stock-taking deals with out-of-field teaching in mathematics - examined both from our German perspective and from an international perspective. It is obvious that there is much more out-of-field teaching in math in schools than generally assumed. Therefore, the community of mathematicians as well as the mathematics lecturers at university have to notice a field of action which requires our permanent and full attention: On the one hand there is no way to avoid enhanced training courses for certain groups and types of school, on the other hand you have to set a suitable course via regulations for the education of teachers so that the teaching staff who are subsequently responsible for the math classes in schools has obtained a basic education in the first phase of their qualification. Since all in all an increasing shortage of qualified math teachers is anticipated, measures to enhance the attraction of this specialist teaching profession - as far as possible in combination with another affine subject - are essential.
