Cognition and Affect in Mathematics Problem Solving with Prospective Teachers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent studies relating the affective domain with the teaching and learning of mathematics, and more specifically with mathematics problem solving, have focused on teacher education. The authors of these studies have been ever more insistently pointing to the need to design educational programs that take an integrated cognitive and affective approach to mathematics education. Given this context, we have designed and implemented a program of intervention on mathematics problem solving for prospective primary teachers. We here describe some results of that program.

متن کاملTeachers’ and Researchers’ Beliefs About the Development of Algebraic Reasoning
Mathematics teachers and educational researchers ordered arithmetic and algebra problems according to their predicted problem-solving difficulty for students. Predictions deviated systematically from algebra students’ performances but closely matched a view implicit in textbooks. Analysis of students’ problem-solving strategies indicates specific ways that students’ algebraic reasoning differs ...
