This study analyzes the beliefs of 141 pre-service teachers on the ability and confidence needed to teach
mathematics. To identify these beliefs, two previously validated questionnaires were administered and
data was analyzed using a quantitative methodology. The results show that over half of students believe
that not everybody has the same mathematical ability, a significant percentage are less confident
teaching mathematics than other subjects, and students who exhibited more positive beliefs studied a
high school program with a concentration in science. The results provide information that can be used to
design didactic strategies that promote pre-service teachers’ professional development during their
initial training
