Teacher Beliefs about Mathematics Teaching and Learning: Identifying and Clarifying Three Constructs
Peer reviewed
Direct linkSchoen, Robert C.; LaVenia, Mark – Cogent Education, 2019
Scholars have long argued that individuals' beliefs influence their behaviors and the decisions they make throughout their lives. Focusing on beliefs as a cognitive construct, the purpose of this study was to identify several key beliefs about mathematics teaching and learning held by practicing elementary mathematics teachers. An iterative…
