Two pre-service mathematics teachers' beliefs about mathematics and its teaching and their lesson plans for linear function topic
Résumé
One of the Intellectual outputs of the FunThink Erasmus+ project is a course for pre-service teachers. In this context, we conducted the study focused on understanding the beliefs of pre-service teachers in relation to the lesson plans they developed before and after the course. Their beliefs were elicited through a semi-structured interview and analysed using the analytical tool developed by Carrillo and Contreras. Our results showed that their beliefs about mathematics and its teaching were strongly related to their lesson plans. Especially with those created after the course when knowledge about mathematics teaching and learning was expanded. Although the course was based on the inquiry approach to teaching mathematics, their lesson plans emphasised the spontaneous or technological tendency. Therefore, further research and adjustments in the course are needed so that the preservice teachers' beliefs are considered and addressed.
