Pre-Service Teachers’ Mindset and Persistence in College Algebra and Statistics Units of Practice
Year: 2023
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Understanding the mindset and persistence traits of pre-service teachers (PSTs) is significant as these traits impact future teacher engagement with classroom materials and their future work by influencing student performance. PSTs’ persistence in two college courses was measured, and pre- and post- course scores were compared looking at if their mindset and persistence improved over their content courses. Our study would recommend reconsidering the standards and course expectations of engagement, what improvements can be made to learning in various modalities, and that CoVid-19 PSTs may be more accepting and flexible. Shifts to learning, the challenges, and methods should be studied and compared to pre-CoVid-19 studies to understand CoVid-19 shifts in ideologies, both in the moment and long term.
