Abstract
This chapter discusses the theoretical underpinnings and research framework of this study, and reviews the relevant literature. The first section includes information about a prototype view of teaching expertise, which serves as the theoretical perspective for this study to construct the conception of expert mathematics teachers, and to categorize common characteristics of expert mathematics teachers. The second section discusses sociocultural theory, which serves as a theoretical basis to allow the researcher to make research assumptions, develop a conceptual framework, and discuss findings from a sociocultural perspective. The third section reviews literature on expert teachers related to this study.
