Alfaro Víquez, Helen; Joutsenlahti, Jorma – Education Sciences, 2021
Beliefs have been conceived as a hidden variable in mathematics education. It is important to know teachers' beliefs as they can inform the way that teachers teach mathematics, make decisions in the classroom, and form opinions about the abilities of students. In Costa Rica, studies about beliefs have been conducted with in-service teachers, but…
