Beliefs : a hidden variable in mathematics education? Edited by Gilah C. Leder, Erkki Pehkonen, and Gunter Tčorner. Published by Kluwer Academic Press (2003) |
Book description
The twenty chapters in this book all focus on aspects
of mathematical beliefs, from a variety of different perspectives. Current
knowledge of the field is synthesized and existing boundaries are extended.
The book is divided into three, partly overlapping, sections. The first concentrates
on conceptualizations and measurement of beliefs, the second on research about
teachers' beliefs, and
the third on facets of students' beliefs about mathematics. A diversity of
instruments is used for data collection, including surveys, interviews, observations,
and essay writing, as well as more innovative approaches. The volume is intended
for researchers in the field, as well as for mathematics educators teaching
the next generation of students. The book is also useful for those working
in other subject disciplines, since many of the themes explored have relevance
well beyond mathematics education.
