Die invloed van houding op die wiskundeprestasie van 'n groep standerd 8-leerlinge / Susanna Maria Pietie ScholtzScholtz, Susanna Maria Pietie January 1996 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine:
* what the influence of attitude is on the mathematical
achievement of the standerd 8 pupil,
* which factors contribute mainly to the attitude of the
standard 8 pupil towards mathematics.
The literature study defined the concept "attitude" as widely as
possible. The relationship between attitude and academic
achievement was discussed and special reference was given to
mathematics achievement. In the literature study factors which
can influence mathematical achievement were also discussed.
Special reference was given to:
* cognitive and non-cognitive factors,
* factors referring to the parents,
* factors referring to the school situation,
* the influence of the peer group and friends,
* other factors which can be related to achievement in mathematics.
An empirical investigation was undertaken by means of a self
developed attitude scale to determine to which extent attitude towards mathematics can influence achievement in this subject.
I.Q. counts and percentages were available from report cards.
The most important findings from this study were that attitude
influences mathematical achievement to a large extent. Further
findings proved that attitudes towards mathematics are influenced
largely by the student's previous mathematical achievements, as
well as the gender group to which the learner belongs.
These findings underline the important role of the teacher, as
well as the supportive role of the parents in creating a positive
attitude towards Mathematics. The achievement of the learner can
be improved by motivation and support. This will result in a
more positive attitude towards mathematics and will consequently
widen the career choices of the learner. / Thesis (MEd (Voorligting))--PU vir CHO, 1996
