Abstract:
The responses to four multiple-choice questions taken from delMas, Garfield and Ooms (2005) by 190 future Spanish teachers and 345 American college students are compared and then complemented with a qualitative analysis of the justifications given by a subsample of 44 Spanish teachers. Some conclusions for the training of teachers are presented.
