Häsä, Jokke; Westlin, Lín; Rämö, Johanna – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
In this study, we investigated undergraduate mathematics students' (N = 267) attitudes towards proving. The students were taking an introduction-to-proof type course that was situated at the beginning of the mathematics curriculum and lasted for one term. Four attitude variables were measured at the beginning and at the end of the course with a…

Voica, Cristian; Singer, Florence Mihaela; Stan, Emil – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
Affects are intuitively accepted as having a role in the key stages that determine success in problem-solving (PS) and problem-posing (PP). Two disjoint groups of prospective mathematics teachers with similar background and competences have been exposed to PS and PP activities, respectively, and they had to describe their affective states during…

Harkness, Shelly Sheats; D'ambrosio, Beatriz; Morrone, Anastasia S. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2007
In this study, data in the form of (preservice teacher) "student voices" taken from mathematical autobiographies, written at the beginning of the semester, and end-of-semester reflections, were analyzed in order to examine why preservice elementary school teachers were highly motivated in a social constructivist mathematics course in which the…
