Abstract

This paper initiates a longitudinal study that explores the growth and development of mathematics teacher educators (MTEs), particularly those transitioning from mathematics teacher to university-based MTE. While existing research often employs self-based methodologies, this study adopts positioning theory as an alternative approach, examining Mikaela, a lower primary school teacher transitioning to a university-based MTE in Sweden. The paper contributes to the broader understanding of growth and development, offering insights into the challenges and strategies involved in transitioning from mathematics teacher to MTE. The study marks the beginning of a more extensive exploration of this transition process, emphasising the need for a nuanced conceptualisations of MTE learning and expertise.
