The Delayed Influence of a Teacher Education Program: A Longitudinal Study of Elementary Mathematics Teachers' Belief Development
Amanda G. Sawyer
Teacher Education Quarterly, v49 n4 p72-94 Fall 2022
Some researchers found that preservice mathematics teacher education programs have little effect on elementary mathematics teacher beliefs. A preservice teacher education program can influence beliefs for some mathematics teachers. However, the question still remains as to what happens to these beliefs after the first 2 years of teaching. In this study, I interviewed and observed three elementary mathematics teachers 10 years after their preservice education program ended to investigate their current beliefs about the nature of mathematics, teaching mathematics, and learning mathematics and how these beliefs compared to those they held during their second year of teaching. The data show that teacher education programs might not initially influence individuals, but later, the individuals could become aware of their beliefs and take practices taught in teacher education programs into consideration. The data also support the finding that teacher education programs can have a lasting impact on these participants.
