Rott, Benjamin – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
Epistemological beliefs are considered to play an important role in processes of learning and teaching. However, research on epistemological beliefs is confronted with methodological issues as for traditionally used self-report instruments with closed items, problems with social desirability, validity, and capturing domain-specific aspects of…

Faulkner, Brian; Earl, Katherine; Herman, Geoffrey – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2019
Facing increased pressure to improve retention and graduation rates, engineering departments are increasingly scrutinizing whether they are getting their desired outcomes from core mathematics coursework. Since mathematics courses are a significant source of attrition and many engineering faculty are unhappy with students' mathematical abilities,…

Tariq, Vicki N.; Qualter, Pamela; Roberts, Sian; Appleby, Yvon; Barnes, Lynne – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
This empirical study explores the roles that Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Emotional Self-Efficacy (ESE) play in undergraduates' mathematical literacy, and the influence of EI and ESE on students' attitudes towards and beliefs about mathematics. A convenience sample of 93 female and 82 male first-year undergraduates completed a test of…

Stage, Frances K.; Kloosterman, Peter – Journal of Higher Education, 1995
A structural model exploring relationships between ability, beliefs about mathematics, and achievement in remedial college mathematics is presented. In this study (n=236 students), previous mathematics skills were significantly related to beliefs, but beliefs were unrelated to final course grade for males. Conversely, beliefs about mathematics…

Dede, Yüksel – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2006
Mathematics is usually seen as a field in which there is value-free. Such a situation causes only a few studies about values teaching to be done in mathematics education. But, mathematics is a field that has various values in it, and that must be considered seriously from this perspective. Values are taught implicitly rather than explicitly in…
