Roles and Effectiveness of K-16 STEM Educators

Taking the Misery Out of Math: Challenging Teachers to Make Math Fun!

An action research study endeavoring to inform the researchers' teaching practices with regard to pre-service and in-service elementary teachers' attitudes and experiences towards mathematics and what, if any, changes would be reported by these individuals at the completion of required mathematics courses for highly qualified certification. Negative attitudes towards mathematics were described by 50% enrolled. Post-survey results support the notion that attitudes about mathematics by pre-service and in-service elementary teachers can be positively impacted.
