An analysis of student teachers' perceptions of 3D-descriptive geometry education in Mozambique

The present study aims to explore the factors underlying student-teachers' perceptions concerning 3D-descriptive geometry education in Mozambique. Elements of a grounded theory mixed methods approach were employed to gather data from a series of six focus groups' discussions, ten interview...
