Abstract:
|
The study examined the mathematical beliefs of College Algebra students. Subjects (N=30) were interviewed as they solved algebra problems. Drawing from the episodes of the students, the analysis identified formal mathematical and self-efficacy beliefs as playing prominent roles in the solutions of the students. The findings improve our understanding of the interactions between a student’s mathematical beliefs and actions. |
