Abstract:
|
In order to investigate the attitudes or motivation of high school students toward mathematics course-taking, a survey of high school students was conducted. The factor analysis yielded the following constructs: self-confidence intrinsic value and utility. The MANOVA revealed a significant multivariate effect for the ability-persistence category in the above constructs, as well as gender differences in the confidence and persistence. |

| 216 MATHEMATICS SELF-EFFICACY AND MOTIVATION OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Caroline Ramirez UC Davis The purpose of this study is to investigate the attitudes and motivation of high school students toward mathematics course-taking. Two high school math teachers have noticed that more girls are taking higher level math courses and are outperforming boys in achievement tests. Their observation has led to the following research questions: Is there a trend towards more girls taking more math classes? Are there gender differences |
