Teacher Education and Professional Development on The Influence of Teacher-Student Relationships on Mathematics Problem-solving

ABSTRACT In this article, we uncovered aspects that students consider when learning to solve mathematical problems. The purpose of this study is to examine students' real experiences with mathematics problem-solving. We examine the method through which students learn to solve mathematical problems in order to develop Higher-Order-Thinking skills. Additionally, this study discusses the pedagogical consequences of contact between teachers and students during mathematical problem-solving. The cognitive and affective components are the factors that decide issue solutions. We investigated the lived experiences of 45 students in solving a mathematical problem using descriptive phenomenology research. As a result, we base our findings on current concerns in education and teacher professional development in order to better understand the influence of teacher-student relationships on mathematics problem- solving.
