Chapter 19: Affecting Affect: The Reeducation of Preservice Teachers’ Beliefs about Mathematics and Mathematics Teaching and Learning. Peter Liljedahl (Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia), Katrin Rolka , and Bettina Rösken (both of University of Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany) discuss the deep-seated beliefs that preservice teachers have about mathematics that often run counter to contemporary research on what constitutes good practice. In their article they present research on a mathematics teaching methods course specifically designed to integrate learning outcomes with belief outcomes. In particular, they used reflective journals to examine how a group of preservice elementary school teachers’ beliefs about mathematics and the teaching and learning of mathematics evolved as a result of being enrolled in the methods course.
