Abstract

A number of research studies on teacher professional developmentProfessional development(TPD) at the high school level express dissatisfaction regarding the outcomes of TPD programmes. The main reason seems to be a gap between teachersג€™ expectations and TPD programme contents. We assume that this situation may be caused by a lack of standards specifying the knowledge and skillsSkillsteachers need in order to use technology effectively in their classes. In this chapter, we tackle the issue of standards by describing existing ICT standards at the international and national levels and analysing them through the lenses of the TPACK model and double instrumental genesisInstrumental genesis. We argue that these standards are too general and do not refer specifically to school level or subject matter. We call on the mathematics education research community to take this issue into consideration.
