Beliefs about mathematical understanding.
Abstract
Thirteen preservice middle school mathematics teachers from a four-year teacher education program in Turkey were interviewed about their beliefs related to mathematical understanding.

The competitiveness of high school background seemed to have an effect on participants' beliefs about mathematical understanding. Participants from the most competitive high school background seemed to have richer conceptions of mathematical understanding.
