摘要:The aim of this study is to investigate the mediation effects of prospective mathematics teachers’ beliefs about mathematics on the relationship between perception of pedagogical content knowledge and attitude towards mathematics teaching. Data of the study was collected from 295 prospective mathematics teachers who study at elementary mathematics teaching in education faculty of a state university. Three scales were used for the variables mentioned in this subject. The relation between these variables was analyzed through statistical methods such as regression analysis and sobel tests. As a result of the study, it was determined that the prospective mathematics teachers’ perceptions of pedagogical content knowledge affect their attitudes toward mathematics teaching positively. It was also found that the relationship between perception of pedagogical content knowledge and attitude toward mathematics teaching was fully mediated by their beliefs about mathematics.
