North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (33rd, Reno, NV, Oct 20-23, 2011)
This cross case analysis synthesizes results from two qualitative studies on mathematics content courses for prospective elementary teachers: one from the U.S. interviewed instructors, one from Canada interviewed students. Results were examined for common themes. Salient commonalities were found. Two will be discussed here: the role of affect in student learning and the role of connections to the elementary classroom.
