Beschreibung: Developing and maintaining constructivist beliefs and high levels of enthusiasm are important goals in the teaching profession. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated beliefs and enthusiasm of N = 856 German mathematics teacher (candidates) longitudinally. Results of latent growth curve modeling revealed that teachers’ constructivist beliefs declined, subject enthusiasm initially increased, and teaching enthusiasm remained stable over a 12-year period. Openness to experience buffered a decline in constructivist beliefs. Collaboration with colleagues and reflection were predictive of in-service teachers’ level of constructivist beliefs and their teaching enthusiasm, providing valuable implications about how to promote positive long-term developments.
