An, Song A.; Ma, Tingting; Capraro, Mary Margaret
School Science and Mathematics, v111 n5 p236-248 May 2011
This article presents exploratory research investigating the integration of music and a mathematics lesson as an intervention to promote preservice teachers' attitude and confidence and to extend their beliefs toward teaching mathematics integrated with music. Thirty students were randomly selected from 64 preservice teachers in a southern university. A 90-minute mathematics lesson integrated with a music composition activity was taught by the first author. Pre- and postquestionnaires were provided to evaluate the change in preservice teachers' attitude and beliefs toward mathematics. The results demonstrated that the mathematics lesson integrated with music had a positive effect on preservice teachers' attitude and beliefs toward mathematics teaching and learning. (Contains 3 tables and 3 figures.)
