Resumo |
Associations between resilience or optimism (Seligman, 1995) and the inclination to explore unfamiliar challenging problems in mathematics have been identified (Williams, 2005, 2008). This raised questions about how to build optimism to enhance mathematical performance. In this study, a theoretical framework was formulated to study optimism-building situations (Seligman, 1995; Csikszentmihalyi, 1992). By interrogating ‘Engaged to Learn’ pedagogy (Williams, 2000) through a video-stimulated interview study, situations theoretically expected to be optimism building were identified.<br /> |
