As a result of German pre-service teacher training you can usually observe a static view on mathematics which comes along with a teaching based on rote learning. A possibility to influence the pre-service teachers' views on mathematics and to improve their competences is to establish reflexive problem solving courses which imply journal writing. The research project 'Mathematics teachers as researchers' is looking into the effects of such a course. This article will give an insight into first quantitative results of the pilot study which shows a change in the students' beliefs towards 'Mathematics as a process'. An additional qualitative analysis of written reflections regarding the change of beliefs reveals which beliefs are central in students' perception after the course and in which domains it offers possibilities to change.
