A Study on Relation between Beliefs on Mathematical Problem Solving and Ideas on Mathematics Teaching of Pre-service Mathematics Teachers
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research project was aimed to analyze the relationship between Beliefs on Mathematical Problem Solving and Ideas on Mathematics Teaching of Pre- service Mathematics Teachers. The study employed mixed method. The main data collected by a questionnaire and interviewing. The 109 from 134 of year 1-5 preservice students in mathematics, Faculty of Education, Chiang Mai University, 2019 academic year were a voluntary sample group. The data was analyzed statistically by using Frequency, Percentage, Average, Standard Deviation, Independent sample t – test, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The qualitative data analyzed by content analysis.
The research revealed that mathematics pre-service teachers’ belief on mathematical problem solving has a relationship in the same way with idea of teaching mathematics at the significance level of .05. The result showed that mathematics pre-service teachers’ belief has related with idea of teaching mathematics strongly. Moreover, the study indicated that mathematics teacher preparation program should be nurture belief about contemporary aspects of mathematical problem solving in order to help them for changing and develop their own classroom teaching in the future.
