THE INFLUENCE OF STYLE OF LEARNING ON PREFERENCES REGARDING AUXILIARY TOOLS AMONG STUDENTS OF MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION

Dvora Gorev, Achva Academic College of Education, Israel

The current research has to do with the preferences of students of mathematical education with regard to auxiliary tools when dealing with mathematical assignments. The results point to the influence of the style of learning on students’ choice of auxiliary tools. Based on the students’ comments, we suppose that a probable explanation for their preferences might be their lack of confidence in their own mathematics knowledge. The findings of the current research point to possible ways to effectively use various auxiliary tools, including modern, up-to-date technology, for students of mathematical education.
