The Impact of Problem Posing on Elementary Teachers' Beliefs about Mathematics and Mathematics Teaching
Barlow, Angela T.; Cates, Janie M.
School Science and Mathematics, v106 n2 p64 Feb 2006
This study investigated the impact of incorporating problem posing in elementary classrooms on the beliefs held by elementary teachers about mathematics and mathematics teaching. Teachers participated in a year-long staff development project aimed at facilitating the incorporation of problem posing into their classrooms. Beliefs were examined via pre- and postsurvey. Results indicated a positive impact on their beliefs about mathematics and mathematics instruction. Data from open-ended written responses verified the impact of problem posing on the teachers and their classrooms. Based on these findings, it is recommended that problem posing be incorporated into all professional learning and undergraduate education programs. (Contains 3 tables and 3 figures.)
