AB  - The Mathematical Beliefs Scale (MBS) was administered to 623 pre-service mathematics teachers in Malaysia. The data were analyzed using exploratory factors analysis yielding two factors, namely, Constructivist Orientation (CO) and Traditional Orientation (TO). The results of the factor analysis and the high reliability estimates for the MBS and its subscale confirmed the hypothesis that the MBS can be used to assess beliefs of pre-service mathematics teachers in Malaysia.
