Assessing Attitudes toward Mathematics across Teacher Education Contexts
Authors: Jong Cindy, Hodges Thomas E., Bleiler Sarah K., Thompson Denisse R., Krajcevski Mile
This paper reports on the development of attitudes toward mathematics among pre-service elementary teachers in relation to their experiences as K-12 learners of mathematics and experiences within a teacher education program. The results indicate that significant changes in attitudes occurred over the duration of mathematics methods coursework and student teaching.

Providing Written Feedback on Students’ Mathematical Arguments: Proof Validations of Prospective Secondary Mathematics Teachers
Authors: Bleiler Sarah K., Thompson Denisse R., Krajcevski Mile
Prior research has demonstrated several weaknesses teachers have with respect to proof validation, but little research has investigated instructional sequences aimed to improve this skill. In this paper, the authors present the results from the implementation of such an instructional sequence. The results provide insight into the errors to which prospective secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) attend when validating mathematical arguments. In particular, PSMTs’ written feedback indicated that they were aware of the limitations of inductive argumentation
