Empowering Mathematics Teachers as Agents of Change: Developing a readiness model through Fuzzy Delphi insights

Abstract

This study developed a model of mathematics teachers' readiness as agents of change using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). Thirteen experts validated the main components and elements of the model, derived from an extensive literature review. The results demonstrated that the proposed model matched the requirements and attained a high degree of expert consensus. In the analysis conducted, four primary components were identified, namely mathematics teacher readiness, professional knowledge, pedagogical skills, and teaching and learning. This model can serve as a guide and reference for mathematics teachers to make improvements in their education, ultimately enhancing the quality of their teaching.
