The participants were asked to pose problems from three situations with different connections to reality and different numerical information provided. We studied how the characteristics of the provided problem-posing situations influenced the participants’ problem-posing performance and affective processes. The results highlight the importance of incorporating different types of problem-posing situations in teacher education.
