His pioneering work has profoundly shaped both the theoretical frameworks and practical approaches to teacher professional development on a global scale. As chair professor of education and dean of the Faculty of Education (FED) at the University of Macau (UM), Prof Fan is dedicated to the mission of ‘strengthening the education system through teacher excellence’. He incorporates this vision into modern educational practices to drive innovative advancements in educational research and teacher development. Enhancing Teacher Competence Through Academic Research ‘Teacher competence forms the foundation of quality education, shaping students’ development and the future of society,’ says Prof Fan—a belief that has guided his nearly forty-year academic career. Over the years, he has held positions at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, including the University of Chicago, Nanyang Technological University, the University of Southampton, and East China Normal University. His work in both teaching and research has consistently centred on one key question: How can teachers become truly effective in guiding student development? Through years of relentless effort, Prof Fan has reached numerous milestones in education, earning global recognition as one of the most influential Chinese mathematics educators. Prof Fan’s deep commitment to enhancing teacher quality drives not only his research, but also his leadership as dean of FED, a role he has held since 2024. Whether addressing traditional curriculum reforms or exploring cutting-edge areas like artificial intelligence (AI) in education, his ultimate goal remains the same: to equip future teachers with the knowledge and skills to better understand education and make a meaningful impact as educators. Establishing a Research Paradigm for Teacher’s Pedagogical Knowledge ‘How do teachers enrich and develop their pedagogical knowledge?’ This fundamental question marked the start of Prof Fan’s research journey. In 1993, while pursuing his PhD in education at the University of Chicago, he identified a critical gap in the field. While the importance of teachers’ pedagogical knowledge for effective teaching was widely acknowledged in the American education community, little systematic research had been conducted on how this knowledge was acquired, developed, and accumulated over the course of a teacher’s career. This realisation became the foundation of Prof Fan’s PhD dissertation. Pedagogical knowledge refers to the understanding, skills, and strategies teachers need to teach effectively. Prof Fan viewed the acquisition of this knowledge as a systematic process. To address the gap, he created the first rigorous analytical framework for studying pedagogical knowledge, transforming vague, anecdotal ideas into concepts that could be tested through empirical research. His research initially focused on high school mathematics teachers in the Chicago metropolitan area, examining how they
