A mixed method research study on pre-service primary school teachers’ mathematical disposition

This is a comprehensive study aiming to examine pre-service primary school teachers’ (PPST) mathematical disposition levels in terms of various variables, and explain the results thoroughly. It employed explanatory sequential design among mixed method research designs. The data were collected through Mathematics Dispositional Functions Inventory (MDFI) semi-structured interviews. participants consisted 361 PPSTs quantitative phase, six qualitative phase. Quantitative analyzed with descriptive inferential statistics, while analysis. PPSTs’ did not differ significantly grade level, high type, area education at ability variables; however, their scores attitude toward mathematics lesson factor MDFI differed variables. There significant, positive, low-level relationships between learning experience primary, middle schools, perception level teaching efficacy. related consistent statements analysis regarding efficacy levels, defined as continuous overlapped results.
