This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics education research has repeatedly shown that many elementary teachers and preservice elementary teachers (PSTs) carry negative attitudes and unhealthy beliefs about mathematics (e.g., Bursal & Paznokas, 2006). That research, however, has largely examined PSTs' attitudes and beliefs about mathematics separately, rather than together, ignoring the research that has long asserted a relationship between the two (e.g., McLeod, 1992). Also, it has mostly focused on dislike of mathematics or mathematics anxiety, rather than attending to the full range of attitudes, including positive ones. Lastly, attitudes have largely been examined holistically. While students may have a predominantly positive or negative attitude toward mathematics, they may also like or dislike particular aspects of mathematics. In this study, I examined the attitudes that a group of PSTs held toward mathematics concurrently with their beliefs about mathematics. I also explored the experiences they indicated had shaped those attitudes and beliefs. Lastly, I examined their "turning point stories," or experiences that brought about significant change in attitudes or beliefs (Drake, 2006), to track the most drastic changes in their attitudes. I used qualitative research methods to explore a range of written and spoken data that addressed these issues-including mathematics autobiographies, free-response survey questions, and interviews in which participants graphed their changing attitudes over time.Findings indicate that these PSTs' attitudes and beliefs were interrelated, complex, and not easily captured by force-choice or Likert-type survey items. These PSTs' attitudes and beliefs fluctuated based on their experiences with mathematics, especially as connected to teachers and performance outcomes. This group also reported their attitudes as more positive than negative, though the data also suggest complexity about how they selected their attitude ratings. Findings also indicated that many PSTs had come to their teacher preparation program with beliefs about mathematics that were directly oppositional to some of their peers (e.g., only one solution path for solving a problem versus many possible paths). PSTs at all levels of attitude (i.e., liking or disliking mathematics) reported negative experiences with mathematics, where some categories of experiences were either generally positive (e.g., working with a tutor) or negative (e.g., taking mathematics tests). Positive turning points in attitudes toward mathematics were located in high school and college, whereas negative turning points were reported across all levels of schooling. PSTs most-often described their experiences with mathematics as a "roller coaster," with teachers being the most-common cause of turning points in their attitudes toward mathematics.These results have important methodological, pedagogical, and theoretical implications for research on preservice elementary teachers' attitudes and beliefs about mathematics. First, simple or Likert-scale surveys may obscure the complexity and dynamic, changing nature of people's attitudes and beliefs about mathematics. This study provides some methodological alternatives. For instruction, teachers hold substantial power in shaping their students' attitudes and beliefs about mathematics, but teacher preparation programs can be a site of recovery. In exploring the relationship between attitudes, beliefs, and experiences, this study suggests focusing future research on the dynamic, multidirectional relationships among the three.

Book Synopsis Views and Beliefs in Mathematics Education by : Benjamin Rott
Download or read book Views and Beliefs in Mathematics Education written by Benjamin Rott and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is made up of 21 chapters from 25 presentations at the 23rd MAVI conference in Essen, which featured Alan Schoenfeld as keynote speaker. Of major interest to MAVI participants is the relationship between teachers’ professed beliefs and classroom practice. The first section is dedicated to classroom practices and beliefs regarding those practices, taking a look at prospective or practicing teachers’ views of different practices such as decision-making, the roles of explanations, problem-solving, patterning, and the use of play. The focus of the second section in this book deals with teacher change, which is notoriously difficult, even when the teachers themselves are interested in changing their practice. The third section of this book centers on the undercurrents of teaching and learning mathematics, what rises in various situations, causing tensions and inconsistencies. The last section of this book takes a look at emerging themes in affect-related research. In this section, papers discuss attitudes towards assessment.
Book Synopsis Attitudes, Beliefs, Motivation and Identity in Mathematics Education by : Markku S. Hannula
Download or read book Attitudes, Beliefs, Motivation and Identity in Mathematics Education written by Markku S. Hannula and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book records the state of the art in research on mathematics-related affect. It discusses the concepts and theories of mathematics-related affect along the lines of three dimensions. The first dimension identifies three broad categories of affect: motivation, emotions, and beliefs. The book contains one chapter on motivation, including discussions on how emotions and beliefs relate to motivation. There are two chapters that focus on beliefs and a chapter on attitude which cross-cuts through all these categories. The second dimension covers a rapidly fluctuating state to a more stable trait. All chapters in the book focus on trait-type affect and the chapter on motivation discusses both these dimensions. The third dimension regards the three main levels of theorizing: physiological (embodied), psychological (individual) and social. All chapters reflect that mathematics-related affect has mainly been studied using psychological theories.
Book Synopsis Pre-service Elementary School Teachers' Learning Styles and Attitudes Towards Mathematics by : Murat Peker
Download or read book Pre-service Elementary School Teachers' Learning Styles and Attitudes Towards Mathematics written by Murat Peker and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of pre-service elementary school teachers' attitudes towards mathematics according to their learning styles. Two hundreds eighty one pre-service elementary school teachers were involved in this study. The researchers employed two types of instruments, Learning Style Inventory and Scale of Mathematics Attitude Questionnaire, to collect the data. The learning style inventory was designed to detect the participants' learning styles, Divergent, Assimilator, Convergent, and Accommodator, and the scale of mathematics attitude questionnaire was used to find the participants' attitudes towards mathematics. After the collection of the data, the researchers run the one-way ANOVA to show the attitude differences based on the learning styles. The study concluded that there were statistically significant differences found between the attitudes of learners, convergent and assimilator, and that the convergent learners had more positive attitudes towards mathematics than the assimilator learners."--Abstract on item.

Throughout the semester, participants submitted reflective journal entries in which they reflected on their attitudes toward and experiences with mathematics. The instructor responded to each journal. Participants initial survey scores indicated that they valued mathematics, but their scores for Self-Confidence, Enjoyment, and Motivation were somewhat negative. As a whole, participants showed a statistically significant positive change in attitude on the second survey.
Book Synopsis The Mathematics Education of Elementary Teachers by : Lynn C. Hart
Download or read book The Mathematics Education of Elementary Teachers written by Lynn C. Hart and published by IAP. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an edited volume addressing specific issues of significance for individuals involved with the undergraduate mathematics content preparation of prospective elementary teachers (PSTs). Teaching mathematics content courses to this group of students presents unique challenges. While some PSTs enter their teacher preparation with weak mathematical skills and knowledge, many also hold negative attitudes, anxiety, and misguided beliefs about mathematics. This book is designed to support instructors who teach these students in mathematics content for elementary teachers courses. Elementary teachers need a richly developed understanding of the mathematics they are teaching in order to teach it effectively. Providing them with the needed preparation is difficult, but can be eased with a solid understanding of the mathematical concerns and limitations PSTs bring to the learning of mathematics and a familiarity with the standards and curricula topics PSTs will be expected to teach. Chapter One makes the argument that elementary mathematics is not trivial. This is followed by an analysis of four central issues related to the mathematical preparation of elementary teachers, specifically: (1) selecting/creating/modifying and implementing mathematical tasks (2) noticing/understanding children’s ways of thinking as a foundation for learning mathematics, (3) developing mathematical habits of mind in PSTs, and (4) understanding the role affect plays in the mathematical learning of PSTs. The final chapter presents three international examples of programs that currently consider these factors in the implementation of their courses.
