Recollections of mathematics education: approaching graduation and 5 years later
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 04:19 authored by Kim Beswick, Dole, SAs part of an evaluation of the mathematics education strand of a bachelors degree program a sample of a cohort were interviewed on completion of their mathematics education studies, and another sample from the same cohort were interviewed 5 years after graduation. Interviewees were asked about their perceptions of the value of the course and its impacts on their beliefs about teaching mathematics. Comparison of the responses revealed changes in priorities and evidence of the shifting status of memories. There are implications both for mathematics educators and for understandings of the development and structure of teachers’ knowledge and belief systems.
