== The Study of Beliefs: A Brief History ==

== Beliefs and Knowledge ==

=== Distinctions Between Beliefs and Knowledge ===

=== Belief Systems ===

Green's 3 dimensions of belief systems:

# Beliefs are never in total independence of all other beliefs; they have a ''quasi-logical'' structure with some ''primary'' beliefs and some ''derivative'' beliefs
# Beliefs can vary in strength, being ''central'' or ''peripheral''
# Beliefs are held in clusters, more or less in isolation from other clusters, making it possible to have conflicting sets of beliefs

=== Beliefs and Mathematics Teaching and Learning ===

Ernest's (1988) key elements that influence the practice of math teaching, most notably:

# The teacher's mental contents or schemas, particularly the system of beliefs concerning math and its teaching and learning
# The social context of the teaching situation, particularly the constraints and opportunities it provides
# The teacher's level of thought processes and reflection.

== Mathematics Teachers' Beliefs and Conceptions ==

=== Overview ===

=== Teachers' Conceptions of Mathematics ===

"A teacher's conception of the nature of mathematics may be viewed as that teacher's conscious or subconscious beliefs, concepts, meanings, rules, mental images, and preferences concerning the discipline of mathematics" (p. 132).

Together, this roughly makes up a teacher's philosophy, but it might not be coherent

Skemp's work seems fascinating!

=== The Relationship Between Conceptions of Mathematics and Instructional Practice ===

=== Teachers' Conceptions of Mathematics Teaching and Learning ===

This seems similar to the previous subsection, but I think the previous one is more about ''enactment'' of practice, while this is more about ''beliefs'' of mathematics teaching and learning.
