dc.description.abstract | This article is mainly concerned with the didactical and the epistemological approach towards pupils' errors in mathematics. The findings of an investigation into a representative sample of Cypriot teachers' attitudes of errors in mathematics are presented. Although teachers draw on behaviourism as a way of understanding pupils' errors, a considerable number of teachers seem to be influenced by both cognitive science error theory and the obstacle theory. Inferential statistical analysis revealed that teachers' attitudes of errors are mainly associated with the attendance of a specialised INSET course in mathematics. Teachers who attended the INSET course in mathematics are generally more influenced by the cognitive science theory and the obstacle theory. Implications for the development of policy on teacher training are discussed. It is argued that with appropriate training teachers will be able to adopt a model of interpreting errors in mathematics based on the didactical and the epistemological approaches.
