Theoretical backgroupd : teachers require different approaches for math and literacy (Leshem & Markovits, 2013) teachers' beliefs play a crucial role: mathematics is a formal way of representing reality; students should acquire a collection of skills and algorithms (Zakaria & Musiran, 2010) creativity in language literacy is expressed by the variety of interpretations and the inclusion of students' personal experience (Leshem & Markovits, 2013) discrepancies in teacher's beliefs lead to adoptions of different teaching strategies and class practices.

Research question : Do math and literacy teachers’ differ in their eye movements, physiological measures, behavioral patterns, and beliefs / self-concepts? What is the role of students’ skill level, anxiety state, self-confidence, and enjoyment?
