Abstract
This chapter is concerned with presenting the quantitative results of the empirical study. All choices in connection with the data analysis are thoroughly explained, followed by explicitly displaying the results. The quantitative data is reduced by means of factor analysis. Presenting the findings includes determining the number of factors that are relevant in the context of mathematics teacher professional development, reporting about the empirical dimensions of teachers’ needs, their internal consistency, teachers’ answering behavior within those dimensions, and the relations between them. Finally, the presentation of the quantitative results concludes with some remarks and reflections on this methodological approach and the corresponding relevance of the results.
