The data obtained from the interview was analyzed by descriptive method. The researcher had divided the analysis part by different themes such as Introduction of case college, Introduction of case students, Class observation of case students, Teachers and students views, Motivational factors to choosing mathematics as a major, Ways of mathematical knowledge construction. After analysis and interpretation of the obtained data the findings indicate that the motivational factors of choosing mathematics as a major are value in mathematics, mathematics teacher, economic factor, foundation for the other sector, the ways of construction the mathematical content are practice ,practice and more practice, work along with teacher, self-study, group discussion. |
