Jelena Radišic; Nils Buchholtz; Kajsa Yang-Hansen; Xin Liu; Hege Kaarstein – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Mathematics teachers' beliefs are central to mathematics teaching and student learning. Because different aspects of motivation and affect--particularly enjoyment--primarily develop within the classroom context, examining how different teachers' beliefs may affect student outcomes in mathematics is imperative. The current study examines teachers'…
