AbstractThis paper comments on the other papers in this issue related to how 'mathematics teaching expertise' is conceptualized and the approaches employed to facilitate its development in Western and Eastern countries. Similarities and differences are found to exist in the conceptualization of mathematics teaching expertise and the development approaches employed. The papers in this issue share the similarity of exploring mathematics teaching expertise from the perspective of knowledge. Under the influence of this perspective, the approaches mentioned in the papers mainly focus on the development of teachers' knowledge. A feature in common among teacher development approaches employed in Western countries is to let teachers attend some courses or training programs designed or organized by mathematics teacher educators at universities. In contrast, teacher development approaches employed in Eastern countries, particularly those employed in Mainland China, are relatively more practical in nature and directly related to teachers' needs, like learning from observing exemplary teaching. This shows that the conception of mathematics teaching expertise and development approaches are culturally and contextually dependent. It is argued that a broader perspective of mathematics teaching expertise should be taken to explore mathematics teaching expertise and its development, and teacher expertise development should be conceptualized as a complex system rather than as some separated knowledge, skills and techniques. © FIZ Karlsruhe 2011.
