Epistemological Beliefs and Critical Thinking in Mathematics
Epistemological Beliefs and Critical Thinking in Mathematics
Epistemological beliefsi.e. beliefs on the nature of knowledge, its limits, sources, and justificationplay an important role both in everyday life and in learning processes. This book comprises several studies dealing with such beliefs in the domain of mathematics; amongst others a qualitative interview study, and quantitative studies for which a new questionnaire has been developed. In this new instrument, belief position (e.g. mathematical knowledge is certain vs. uncertain) and belief argumentation (the way those positions are justified) are differentiated. Additionally, a test for mathematical critical thinking has been designed. The results show significant correlations between sophisticated belief argumentations and high scores in the critical thinking test, but no correlations regarding belief positions.
