Peer reviewedRuthven, Kenneth; Coe, Robert – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1994
Views of (n=70) 16- and 17-year olds on mathematical knowledge, activity, and learning were analyzed using factorial techniques. Findings suggest there was no simple systematic relationship between beliefs about the nature of mathematical knowledge and the teaching and learning of mathematics. (19 references) (Author/MKR)

Peer reviewedEven, Ruhama – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1993
Analyzed questionnaire responses of 152 prospective secondary mathematics teachers, 10 of whom were interviewed, to investigate their knowledge of the concept of function. Results indicated that many did not have a modern concept of function, a limitation that influenced their pedagogical approach. (Contains 45 references.) (MDH)
