- Abstract
Mathematics teacher beliefs are one of the mental models that are important for teachers to have in teaching mathematics. Three important aspects of mathematics teacher beliefs are beliefs about the nature of mathematics (BNM), beliefs about the teaching of mathematics (BTM), and beliefs about assessment in mathematics learning (BAM). This study aims to determine the effect of BNM on BTM and BAM in elementary school teachers who teach mathematics. Data was collected using a mathematics teacher beliefs questionnaire and its validity was tested. Data processing and analysis uses the PLS-SEM method. The results showed that there was a direct and significant effect of BNM on BTM. The direct effect of BNM on BAM is very low. BTM acts as a moderating variable between BTM and BAM which provides a positive and significant indirect effect of increasing BNM on BAM.
