Sumario: | This study analyzes the beliefs of 141 pre-service teachers on the ability and confidence needed to teach mathematics. To identify these beliefs, two previously validated questionnaires were administered and data was analyzed using a quantitative methodology. The results show that over half of students believe that not everybody has the same mathematical ability, a significant percentage are less confident teaching mathematics than other subjects, and students who exhibited more positive beliefs studied a high school program with a concentration in science. The results provide information that can be used to design didactic strategies that promote pre-service teachers’ professional development during their initial training. |
