High School Students' Attitudes Toward Mathematics And Its Relation To Mathematics Learning Achievement, Khairiani Idris, Khazila Khazila, Agustina Agustina, Lisa Lisa
High School Students' Attitudes Toward Mathematics And Its Relation To Mathematics Learning Achievement, Khairiani Idris, Khazila Khazila, Agustina Agustina, Lisa Lisa
Jurnal Riset Pendidikan Matematika
Attitudes toward mathematics have been acknowledged among factors related to students' mathematics learning achievement. The positive attitudes may decrease when the education level getting higher. This study applied a mixed-method approach to describe students' attitudes toward mathematics and to analyze the correlation between attitudes toward mathematics and mathematics learning achievement among students in the coastal area of Aceh Province, specifically in Lhokseumawe City and North Aceh Regency. Total of 481 eleventh graders completed attitudes toward mathematics questionnaire online and 19 of them were involved in semi-structured interview. Data of mathematics learning achievement was obtained from students' scores in their report …
Practicing Positive Coping Strategies For Managing Math Anxiety In A Secondary Mathematics Classroom, Courtney Kathleen Smith-Nelson
Practicing Positive Coping Strategies For Managing Math Anxiety In A Secondary Mathematics Classroom, Courtney Kathleen Smith-Nelson
MSU Graduate Theses
The purpose of this action research study was to explore student and teacher perceptions on the usefulness of teaching students to practice positive coping strategies for managing math anxiety in a high school International Baccalaureate mathematics classroom. This study used a reflective action research methodology in which students' math anxiety levels were assessed using Alexander and Martray's Abbreviated Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (1989). Students were then surveyed on their use of coping strategies for managing math anxiety, presented with a variety of positive coping strategies, and asked to rate each strategy on its perceived worth and the likelihood that they …
High Impact Strategies And The Effect It Has On Students’ Mathematics Attitudes, Lauren A. Ryba
High Impact Strategies And The Effect It Has On Students’ Mathematics Attitudes, Lauren A. Ryba
All Student Theses
This study was designed to determine if innovative strategies such as the use of technology and Supplemental Instruction (SI) could have an impact on students in an introductory statistics course. The study describes the use of a reliable instrument to measure students’ attitudes and beliefs about mathematics. Martha Tapia developed the Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (ATMI) instrument in 1996 and later Lim and Chapman further refined a short form in 2012. The purpose of the ATMI was to measure mathematics attitudes in four ways: (1) enjoyment of mathematics, (2) motivation to do mathematics, (3) self confidence in mathematics, and (4) …
Student Attitude Toward Mathematics At The Middle And High School Level, Anna Berglund
Student Attitude Toward Mathematics At The Middle And High School Level, Anna Berglund
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
The question of attitude toward mathematics is one of great importance and one that is associated with large implications for students. Studies on student attitude focus on determining the relationship of attitude to the perceived relevance of mathematics to future academic and career choices. Student attitude toward math in middle and high school can affect student enthusiasm for taking advanced math courses in high school and college and can largely determine future career choices. For these reasons generating positive attitudes toward mathematics among middle and high school students is an important goal of mathematics education.
The Effect Of A Math Emporium Course Redesign In Developmental And Introductory Mathematics Courses On Student Achievement And Students' Attitudes Toward Mathematics At A Two-Year College, Amy Renée Bishop
Dissertations
The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of computer-based instruction on student mathematics achievement and students' attitudes toward mathematics in developmental and introductory mathematics courses, namely Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and College Algebra, at a community college. The researcher also examined the relationship between attitudes and achievement. The sample consisted of 112 students, and the study was conducted during the Spring 2010 semester at a community college in south Mississippi. The participants were enrolled in one of six classes taught by the researcher. The control group consisted of three classes (one Intermediate and two College Algebra sections) …
High School Students' Attitudes And Beliefs Regarding Statistics In A Service-Learning-Based Statistics Course, Jennifer Leong
High School Students' Attitudes And Beliefs Regarding Statistics In A Service-Learning-Based Statistics Course, Jennifer Leong
Middle-Secondary Education and Instructional Technology Dissertations
Despite agreement among researchers about the powerful influence of attitudes and beliefs on the development of students’ mathematical knowledge base (Leder, Pehkonen, & Törner, 2002), relatively little is known about these constructs in statistics education. This study investigated the relationship between mathematics-and statistics-related attitudes and beliefs of 11 high school students in an introductory statistics course designed around a 13-week long service-learning project. Service-learning is a pedagogical approach that situates academic learning in the context of community service. The study utilized qualitative, teacher-researcher (Cochran-Smith & Lytle, 1993) methodology from an interpretivist perspective. The three primary modes of data collection were …
