Doing and talking about mathematics: A study of preservice elementary teachers

This dissertation analyzes the understanding and beliefs about mathematics of eight preservice elementary teachers as they did, talked, and wrote about mathematics during an eight week mathematics course. The method of instruction followed an open approach in which the student-subjects worked in small groups in a mathematics laboratory setting. The data for this study consist of tape-recordings of the subjects' peer-dialogues, written homework and essays, the subjects' diaries, tape-recorded task-based interviews, and observations of the subjects at work.
