Abstract

We investigated the development of interest in mathematics of pre-service primary teachers (N=62) during the transition from school to university using longitudinal data and examined whether their beliefs about the nature of mathematics explained their future interest. One main result is that although high correlations between dynamic beliefs (the process and utility aspects of mathematics) and interest were found in each of three surveys, dynamic beliefs did not predict future interest (in addition to prior interest). Instead of dynamic beliefs, formalism beliefs formed an additional significant predictor of future interest.
