Abstract

This study focuses on some Iranian high school mathematics teachers’ beliefs about the nature of mathematics, its teaching and learning within two theoretical frameworks, Absolutist Traditional Beliefs and Constructivist Non-Traditional Beliefs. Almost 100 of high school mathematics teachers in district 1 of education department of Tehran filled the questionnaires which were about their traditional and non- traditional beliefs. The results showed the teachers have stronger agreement with traditional beliefs than with non-traditional beliefs about the nature of mathematics, students’ learning and mathematics curriculum. Some conflicting and mixed views were also observed in teachers which can mean the incomplete process of new reform movements among the mathematics teachers. On the other hand, relation between different variables shows that teachers’ beliefs about the nature of mathematics, mathematics curriculum, students, students’ learning and their own teaching, may affect one another.

Keywords: Teachers’ Beliefs, Traditional Beliefs, Non- Traditional Beliefs, Iranian Teachers
