Download or read book Contributing Factors Affecting Students Attitudes towards Mathematics in Sabah written by Shamila Dewi Davadas and published by Universiti Malaysia Sabah Press. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strong mathematics background is essential for job opportunities and advancement in a developing country like Malaysia. It gives students the confidence and ability to solve problems and become rational as well as critical in their thinking. However, Malaysian students’ mathematics achievement is relatively low as compared to other school subjects. This difference is more pronounced in rural schools. Previous studies have highlighted the relationship between students’ attitude and achievement in mathematics. Hence, it is important to investigate the contributing factors that affect students’ attitudes towards mathematics. This book is adapted and modified from a PhD thesis entitled: “Factors affecting students’ attitude towards mathematics in Sabah, Malaysia” of the first author. In this book, the relationships among perceived parental influences, teacher affective support, classroom instruction, gender, SES, students’ previous achievement and students’ attitude towards mathematics are portrayed using Structural Equation Modeling approach. Findings from the study can be utilised to understand the complex interplay of relationships that form students’ attitude towards mathematics, including factors that can be addressed by the classroom mathematics teacher. This book will be useful for secondary school mathematics teachers, researchers, school administrators, students, and policymakers.
Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Between Parents Attitudes and Actions Pertaining to Mathematics and Their First Grade Private School Children s Attitudes Towards Mathematics written by Butsie Cohen Weinstein and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children should begin to learn foundational mathematical concepts at a developmentally appropriate level at home when they are young, just as they learn the building blocks of reading when involved in daily activities. Parents of young children should understand the importance of introducing these concepts to their children in fun, natural ways so they do not miss the opportunity to facilitate the building of a strong mathematical foundation in their children. In addition to understanding the importance of math-related experiences parents provide their young children, it is essential to understand how parents' attitudes towards math may inadvertently predispose their children to think negatively about math, potentially impacting the children's attitude towards math throughout their school career. As young children are influenced by both affective and tangible experiences with parents in their homes, the purpose of this study was to explore the possible influence of parental attitudes about math and the math-related experiences they provide on the attitudes towards math of their non first born, first-grade private school children. This qualitative case study used individual interviews of the parents, specifically the mothers, and their first-grade private school children and an observation of the mothers and children baking cookies together to gather data which were then analyzed using a five step process to answer the research questions: Is there a relationship between parents' attitudes about math and the attitudes about math of their first-grade children enrolled in private schools? and How do parents' actions influence the attitudes about math of their first-grade children enrolled in private schools? Study findings indicate that there is a positive relationship between the children's attitude towards math and what they perceive their mother's attitude towards math to be. However, there was no evidence that using math in their everyday lives led to a positive attitude towards math in the children primarily because study participants were unaware of the foundational math concepts embedded in their daily activities. Recommendations include teaching parents about basic foundational math concepts and how they can be included in engaging real life activities and how making a purposeful connection between the activity and math concept(s) involved can bridge the home-school math experiences leading to a more cohesive math education.
Download or read book ATTITUDES TOWARDS MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICAL ACHIEVEMENT IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND EXPLORING THE ROLE OF SOCIAL CLASS GENDER AND ETHNICITY written by Jeffery Quaye and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-02-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is essential reading in the sociology of education, social policy and mathematics education. It is for teachers, principals, superintendents, school leaders and policymakers. For too long, many children have not achieved their best potential in mathematics at both primary and secondary schools. Although scholarly interest in students' attitudes towards mathematics and achievement in mathematics has increased, there is scant research which explores the explanatory potential of Bourdieu's trilogy of habitus, cultural capital and social field in investigating students' attitudes towards mathematics. The content is based on a rich empirical study of 1106 students aged 14-16 and gives a detailed account drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data to show the intersection of social class, gender and ethnicity on students' aspiration, attitudes towards mathematics and mathematical achievement at GCSE in secondary schools in England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985. In the mid-seventies, there was growing concern that early decisions not to study mathematics in high school might be limiting the occupational options available to women. As part of a larger program on career development, the Career Awareness Division of the Education and Work Group, then one of the major organizational units of the National Institute of Education (NIE), initiated a special research grants program on women and mathematics. Research information that would sort out the competing explanations for women’s lower rate of participation seemed a useful contribution to debates about possible remedial actions. Should there be, for example, widespread development and implementation of programs designed to reduce mathematics anxiety? This volume represents the culmination of a research program with many contributions.
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.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Human Motivation written by Richard M. Ryan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-16 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is that which moves us to action. Human motivation is thus a complex issue, as people are moved to action by both their evolved natures and by myriad familial, social and cultural influences. The Oxford Handbook of Human Motivation collects the top theorists and researchers of human motivation into a single volume, capturing the current state-of-the-art in this fast developing field. The book includes theoretical overviews from some of the best-known thinkers in this area, including chapters on Social Learning Theory, Control Theory, Self-determination theory, Terror Management theory, and the Promotion and Prevention perspective. Topical chapters appear on phenomena such as ego-depletion, flow, curiosity, implicit motives, and personal interests. A section specifically highlights goal research, including chapters on goal regulation, achievement goals, the dynamics of choice, unconscious goals and process versus outcome focus. Still other chapters focus on evolutionary and biological underpinnings of motivation, including chapters on cardiovascular dynamics, mood, and neuropsychology. Finally, chapters bring motivation down to earth in reviewing its impact within relationships, and in applied areas such as psychotherapy, work, education, sport, and physical activity. By providing reviews of the most advanced work by the very best scholars in this field, The Oxford Handbook of Human Motivation represents an invaluable resource for both researchers and practitioners, as well as any student of human nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's clear that students learn best when they are supported by a community that values education and includes not only teachers but also parents, families, and other mentors. Yet schools often find it difficult to successfully involve parents and families in children's educational lives. Based on solid educational research that reflects culturally diverse communities, this important new book offers teachers and administrators 55 practical strategies for forming effective partnerships with every type of family group. The authors cover a wide range of opportunities for collaborating with families, from homework, parent conferences, and open houses to family literacy and math activities, to hot-button topics like bullying and discipline. Each strategy offers: - a synthesis of the related research - a description of how to use the strategy in a classroom or broader school setting - precautions and pitfalls for consideration to help make implementation reasonably error free - research sources for optional follow-up.
Download or read book Relating Student Perceptions of Parent Attitudes to Student Motivation for Learning Mathematics written by Wendy Diane Schamber and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to declining national academic rankings, the United States developed a set of common standards (Common Core State Standards Initiative [CCSSI], 2015; Neuman & Roskos, 2013); however, success requires student effort. In that respect, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between student perceptions of parent attitudes toward student ability and effort following implementation of the Common Core Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and student motivation for learning mathematics. The construct of perception evident in Weiner's attribution theory of interpersonal motivation indicates individuals attribute motivation to factors they perceive to be real (Weiner, 2000). Student perceptions of parent attitudes can influence student motivation. This study utilized a quantitative cross-sectional design with survey methodology to gather data online from middle school students in a district that implemented the CCSSM. The study used 122 participants for an alpha of .05, power of .80, and medium effect size. The study utilized Pearson's r and Spearman r along with simple linear regression and multiple regression analyses to describe the relationship between the variables. Results indicate that student perceptions of parent attitudes toward student ability have a greater influence on student motivation than student perceptions of parent attitudes toward student effort. Student perceptions of parent attitudes toward both student ability and student effort are more positive than student perceptions of their own ability and effort, consistent with Weiner's (2000) social component of motivation. The study implies possible changes to policy and practice that would increase parent communication and involvement in a child's education.
