Research on adult students’ the mathematical identity work has not been
explored so much. In this study I try to understand four prospective adult
class teachers’ identity works on the basis of their learning diaries during a
mathematics education course (6 ECTS). These four prospective class
teachers’ reported they had negative experiences of mathematics during their
school years but later in their lives the views towards mathematics had
changed to a positive direction. However, the identity work during the
mathematics education course revealed that life experiences had not
changed the most fundamental views towards mathematics, mathematics
learning and teaching. During the mathematics education course, they began
a healing re-building process of their mathematical views which gave them a
better understanding to what learning and teaching goals to pursue in future.

Student teachers’ types of probing questions in inquiry-based mathematics teaching with and without GeoGebra
Hähkiöniemi, Markus (Taylor & Francis, 2017)Previous studies have produced several typologies of teacher questions in mathematics. Probing questions that ask students to explain are often included in the types of questions. However, only rare studies have created ... -
