Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Attitudes and Achievement in Mathematics Among Fifth Grade Students by : Madeleine P. Michelli
Download or read book The Relationship Between Attitudes and Achievement in Mathematics Among Fifth Grade Students written by Madeleine P. Michelli and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been a number of studies investigating how attitudes such as confidence and motivation affect students and their academic achievement. This study was conducted to identify specifically how fifth grade students' attitudes affect their achievement in mathematics. Gender was studied to determine its effect on attitude and achievement. Furthermore, various types of personality traits were studied including extroversion, conscientiousness, self-control, and intellectual efficiency to determine their effects on achievement. To gather the data a questionnaire including a Likert scale survey and a math test was administered. The results indicated that there is a significant relationship between attitudes toward and achievement in math. Concerning gender, males had a more positive attitude towards math compared to females, but both genders scored approximately the same on the achievement test. Finally, extroversion was the only trait to have a significant relationship with achievement, showing that students who were more extroverted scored higher on the test. These findings indicate that educators should be aware of students' attitudes and seek to improve them in order to positively influence students' academic achievement.--P. iv.
Book Synopsis Attitudes, Beliefs, Motivation and Identity in Mathematics Education by : Markku S. Hannula
Download or read book Attitudes, Beliefs, Motivation and Identity in Mathematics Education written by Markku S. Hannula and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book records the state of the art in research on mathematics-related affect. It discusses the concepts and theories of mathematics-related affect along the lines of three dimensions. The first dimension identifies three broad categories of affect: motivation, emotions, and beliefs. The book contains one chapter on motivation, including discussions on how emotions and beliefs relate to motivation. There are two chapters that focus on beliefs and a chapter on attitude which cross-cuts through all these categories. The second dimension covers a rapidly fluctuating state to a more stable trait. All chapters in the book focus on trait-type affect and the chapter on motivation discusses both these dimensions. The third dimension regards the three main levels of theorizing: physiological (embodied), psychological (individual) and social. All chapters reflect that mathematics-related affect has mainly been studied using psychological theories.
Book Synopsis Mathematics Anxiety by : Irene C. Mammarella
Download or read book Mathematics Anxiety written by Irene C. Mammarella and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feelings of apprehension and fear brought on by mathematical performance can affect correct mathematical application and can influence the achievement and future paths of individuals affected by it. In recent years, mathematics anxiety has become a subject of increasing interest both in educational and clinical settings. This ground-breaking collection presents theoretical, educational and psychophysiological perspectives on the widespread phenomenon of mathematics anxiety. Featuring contributions from leading international researchers, Mathematics Anxiety challenges preconceptions and clarifies several crucial areas of research, such as the distinction between mathematics anxiety from other forms of anxiety (i.e., general or test anxiety); the ways in which mathematics anxiety has been assessed (e.g. throughout self-report questionnaires or psychophysiological measures); the need to clarify the direction of the relationship between math anxiety and mathematics achievement (which causes which). Offering a revaluation of the negative connotations usually associated with mathematics anxiety and prompting avenues for future research, this book will be invaluable to academics and students in the field psychological and educational sciences, as well as teachers working with students who are struggling with mathematics anxiety
Book Synopsis Math Attitudes and Achievement by : Piper Harris
Download or read book Math Attitudes and Achievement written by Piper Harris and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There exist considerable achievement gaps in mathematics, where White and Asian students outperform Black and Latinx students across a variety of mathematics assessments. Research demonstrates that students' beliefs about mathematics exert considerable influence on their performance in the subject: students with negative beliefs about math tend to perform significantly worse in mathematics than students with positive math beliefs. The present research investigated whether students' perceptions of same-ethnic peers in their math classrooms serves a protective role for the math achievement of students with negative beliefs about the subject. The findings show that students with more negative beliefs about mathematics (i.e. high anxiety, low belonging, low importance, and low perceived competence) receive significantly poorer math grades than students with positive math attitudes. Moreover, perceived same-ethnic representation in math class had an unexpected moderating effect in the relationship between students' beliefs about math and their actual achievement. When African American students reported they did not belong in math, were not competent in the subject, or had a high level of math anxiety, their math grades worsened when they also perceived there to be a high proportion of same-ethnic peers in their math course. The findings suggest researchers should take a more nuanced approach to exploring the protective function of perceived racial/ethnic representation.

Book Synopsis Mathematics, Affect and Learning by : Peter Grootenboer
Download or read book Mathematics, Affect and Learning written by Peter Grootenboer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-17 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the beliefs, attitudes, values and emotions of students in Years 5 to 8 (aged 10 to 14 years) about mathematics and mathematics education. Fundamentally, this book focuses on the development of affective views and responses towards mathematics and mathematics learning. Furthermore, it seems that students develop their more negative views of mathematics during the middle school years (Years 5 to 8), and so here we concentrate on students in this critical period. The book is based on a number of empirical studies, including an enquiry undertaken with 45 children in Years 5 and 6 in one school; a large-scale quantitative study undertaken with students from a range of schools across diverse communities in New Zealand; and two related small-scale studies with junior secondary students in Australia. This book brings substantial, empirically-based evidence to the widely held perception that many students have negative views of mathematics, and these affective responses develop during the middle years of school. The data for this book were collected with school students, and students who were actually engaged in learning mathematics in their crucial middle school years. The findings reported and discussed here are relevant for researchers and mathematics educators, policy makers and curriculum developers, and teachers and school principals engaged in the teaching of mathematics.

This book was released on 2006-08-02 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of the ICMI Study 13 is outlined as follows: Education in any social environment is influenced in many ways by the traditions of these environments. This study brings together leading experts to research and report on mathematics education in a global context. Mathematics education faces a split phenomenon of difference and correspondence. A study attempting a comparison between mathematics education in different traditions will be helpful to understanding this phenomenon.
Book Synopsis Motivational Profiles in TIMSS Mathematics by : Michalis P. Michaelides
Download or read book Motivational Profiles in TIMSS Mathematics written by Michalis P. Michaelides and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a person-centered exploration of student profiles, using variables related to motivation to do school mathematics derived from the IEA’s Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) data. Statistical cluster analysis is used to identify groups of students with similar motivational profiles, across grades and over time, for multiple participating countries. While motivational variables systematically relate to school outcomes, linear relationships can obscure the diverse makeup of student subgroups, each with varying combinations of motivation, emotions, and attitudes. In this book, a person-centered analysis of distinct and meaningful motivational profiles and their differences on sociodemographic variables and mathematics performance broadens understanding about the role that motivation characteristics play in learning and achievement in mathematics. Exploiting the richness of IEA’s TIMSS data from many countries, extracted clusters reveal consistent, as well as certain nuanced patterns that are systematically linked to sociodemographic and achievement measures. Student clusters with inconsistent motivational profiles were found in all countries; mathematics self-confidence then emerged as the variable more closely associated with average achievement. The findings demonstrate that teachers, researchers, and policymakers need to take into account differential student profiles, prioritizing techniques that target skill and competence in mathematics, in educational efforts to develop student motivation.
Book Synopsis Gender Differences in Mathematics by : Ann M. Gallagher
Download or read book Gender Differences in Mathematics written by Ann M. Gallagher and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-12-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics - yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores then they also receive fewer opportunities. Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of papers that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories. Authors such as Diane Halpern, Jacquelynne Eccles, Beth Casey, Ronald Nuttal, James Byrnes, and Frank Pajares tackle these questions from a variety of perspectives. Many different branches of psychology are represented, including cognitive, social, personality/self-oriented, and psychobiological. The editors then present an integrative chapter that discusses the ideas presented and other areas that the field should explore.
Book Synopsis Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving by : Douglas B. McLeod
Download or read book Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving written by Douglas B. McLeod and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on cognitive aspects of mathematical problem solving has made great progress in recent years, but the relationship of affective factors to problem-solving performance has been a neglected research area. The purpose of Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving: A New Perspective is to show how the theories and methods of cognitive science can be extended to include the role of affect in mathematical problem solving. The book presents Mandler's theory of emotion and explores its implications for the learning and teaching of mathematical problem solving. Also, leading researchers from mathematics, education, and psychology report how they have integrated affect into their own cognitive research. The studies focus on metacognitive processes, aesthetic influences on expert problem solvers, teacher decision-making, technology and teaching problem solving, and beliefs about mathematics. The results suggest how emotional factors like anxiety, frustration, joy, and satisfaction can help or hinder performance in problem solving.
