Whether one engages in truth-seeking and whether he or she is open-minded are
indicative of his or her critical behavior when responding to problems at hand.
This research sought to determine the behavioural tendencies of pre-service
mathematics teachers in the solution of non-routine problems based on the
indicators of truth-seeking and open-mindedness. It was qualitative in nature, with
an exploratory descriptive methodology. The participants in the research
comprised of 15 pre-service mathematics teachers. The data were collected
through tests, direct observation, and interviews. To guarantee the validity and
reliability of the research, the triangulation technique was used. It entailed
comparing the direct observation results with the results of the test and the
interviews. The findings and conclusions were reached and the results indicated
that all the pre-service mathematics teachers had not yet attained critical thinking
dispositions pertinent to truth-seeking. The participants did not investigate the truth
behind the information provided, and they tended to answer questions directly
