Gender And Achievement In Mathematical Problem Solving And Attributions For Mathematical Achievement In Grade Three Students., Melissa Rae. Farrand
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This causal comparative study was designed to investigate students' mathematical problem solving achievement and attributions for success and failure in mathematics by gender. Sixty-two third grade students completed a mathematics problem solving test. There were no significant differences in mathematical problem solving achievement by gender. The students' perceptions of the causes of their performance in mathematics were measured using the Mathematics Attribution Scale (MAS). The students rated the strength of each attribute as an explanation for failure and success events. There were no significant differences for failure events by gender. A statistical significance between gender and attributions for success was …

The Second Language Acquisition Of French Immersion Learners: Investigating The Variables Influencing Motivation And Achievement, Carolyn Anne Marangelli
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between attitudes, motivational variables and achievement in 53 grade six French Immersion (FI) students, from four elementary FI schools. Students completed surveys to measure motivational variables, as well as a French achievement test and final report card grades for French Language Arts. The statistical tests included correlational analysis, discriminant function analysis and regression analysis. Attitudes towards French, desire to learn French, interest in foreign languages and motivational intensity all correlated positively with achievement. High French use anxiety correlated negatively with achievement. Contrary to earlier studies, integrative motivation did not correlate …
