The MasterMT Project

Initiated in 2017, the Master Mathematics Teachers (MasterMT) project is the first endeavour to date (as of Jan 2023) that has looked systematically into the practice and development of a legendary tribe of mathematics teachers in China, the master mathematics teachers, at a large scale, and with such breadth and depth.

The project draws on multiple types of data from a large sample of master mathematics teachers (N = 70) and their students (N = 3,178). Specifically, the project:

focuses on multiple learning and teaching outcomes, namely affective, cognitive and metacognitive outcomes;
measures and interprets teaching, learning and teaching-learning mechanisms in both quantitative and qualitative ways;
sees teacher professional development through both historical and live-streaming lenses.

Harnessing the Integrated Paradigm, the project makes an optimal use of multiple methods in innovative ways, in representing and understanding the masterly-mathematics-teaching reality.
