Prospective teachers’ conceptions of analysis and beliefs about their impending profession

Juter, Kristina LU orcid (2011) 16th Conference on Mathematical Views, MAVI 16 p.157-173
Abstract
A group of pre-service teachers were studied from two social practices, as teachers and as students. Their perceptions of mathematics concepts and beliefs about the mathematics teacher role were studied through questionnaires, interviews and classroom observations. Three students were selected as cases in this paper where their links between the concepts limits, derivatives, integrals and continuity were classified in what resulted in an expanded set of prior categories (Juter, 2009). The students’ beliefs about mathematics teacher identities are discussed in connection to the nature of their concept images, and the results reveal an unawareness of the validity and strength of the own concept image. The students who emphasised mathematics... (More)

The students who emphasised mathematics in the teacher role were the students with weaker concept images. (Less)
