Abstract
can provide a new approach to understanding and improving the affective responses of preservice
primary teachers. In the study pre-service teachers analysing readings about school
students’ learning, reflected on and reconstructed their understanding of their own school
experiences. The technique of bibliotherapy applied to readings about issues such as
mathematics anxiety challenged their assessment of their capacity to learn and teach
mathematics. This was a healing process that generated enthusiasm for teaching
mathematics.
