This paper explores the use of study groups in a preservice primary mathematics education subject where discipline knowledge (mathematics) is integrated with pedagogical knowledge (mathematics education). In order to address the well-recognized fear and competency levels of preservice teachers in the study of mathematics, study groups were explored as a medium for enhancing learning--both cognitive and affective. Overall, those students who used study groups reported that they were very effective forums for enhancing cognitive and affective learning outcomes in mathematics.
