Mathematics related beliefs filter preservice and inservice teachers' experiences of the nature of, teaching, and learning and shape their teaching. Preservice teachers' beliefs also indicate the effectiveness of teacher education programs. Preservice mathematics teachers' beliefs about the nature of, teaching, and learning were investigated in this study through a Mathematics Related Beliefs Scale developed for the study. The scale was implemented to 584 third and 4th year preservice elementary mathematics teachers from 10 universities. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that preservice teachers' mathematics related beliefs significantly differed based on gender favoring female participants. Analysis revealed no difference based on year level in the program and the combination of gender-year level. Preservice teachers' belief systems included both traditional and constructivist belief clusters (Green, 1971).

Preservice elementary teachers beliefs about science teaching Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2008-01-01) In this study, a Beliefs About Teaching (BAT) scale was created to examine preservice elementary science teachers’ self-reported comfort level with both traditional and reform-based teaching methods, assessment techniques, classroom management techniques, and science content. Participants included 166 preservice teachers from three different US universities. Analyses revealed significant correlations among participants’ confidence level with assessment techniques, classroom management, teaching methods, and...
Tracing mathematics-related belief change in teacher education programs Haser, Çiğdem; İşler Baykal, Işıl (2017-01-01) Understanding mathematics related belief change in teacher education programs has been a concern due to the information it presents about the effectiveness of program experiences. The present study investigated how preservice mathematics teachers' (PMTs) mathematics related beliefs changed through a teacher education program by implementing a belief scale to a cohort of PMTs 12 times during 6 consecutive semesters. Comparison of mean scores for different time periods showed that the cumulative effect of the...
Pre-service mathematics teachers' belief systems Haser, Çiğdem; Dogan, Oguzhan (2012-01-01) The influence of mathematics teacher education programme courses on pre-service teachers' mathematics teaching belief systems before their field experience was initially investigated through a Likert-type scale. The impact of a third year general teaching methodologies course was then investigated through the responses pre-service teachers provided in written tasks assigned at the beginning and the end of the year, based on Green's identification of belief systems (Green, T.F. 1971. The activities of teachi...
PRESERVICE TEACHERS' KNOWLEDGE OF STUDENTS' COGNITIVE PROCESSES ABOUT THE DIVISION OF FRACTIONS Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2008-01-01) The purpose of this study was to examine preservice mathematics teachers' knowledge about common (mis)conceptions and difficulties of elementary students. In addition, it Was aimed to investigate preservice teachers' knowledge about the possible sources of these misconception/difficulties, and their suggested strategies to overcome those difficulties. Data was collected from senior preservice elementary mathematics teachers enrolled in a teacher education program at a public university at the end of the spr...
Preservice science teacher's efficacy beliefs regarding science teaching and their classroom management beliefs Savran, Ayşe; Çakıroğlu, Jale Us; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2002) This study intended to explore preservice science teachers' science teaching efficacy beliefs and their classroom management beliefs. In addition, preservice science teachers' efficacy and classroom management beliefs were compared regarding gender, and grade level. Also, the intenelationships among their efficacy beliefs, classroom management beliefs, the number of university pedagogical courses completed and university cumulative point grade average (CGPA) were investigated. The present study was conducte...
