Mathematics Autobiographies: A Window into Beliefs, Values, and Past Mathematics Experiences of Preservice Teachers.
Abstract
This paper explores the usage of a Mathematics Autobiography to investigate the beliefs, attitudes, and experiences that preservice teachers have had while learning mathematics in order to inform instruction. The following were found to be important in students' experiences in learning mathematics: the role of the teacher; issues of fear, failure and avoidance; learning strategies and content issues; support and influence of family; and challenge. This paper will discuss in depth three of these themes. Implications for instruction are also discussed.
