Student Academic Self-Concept and Perception of Classroom Environment in Single-Sex and Coeducational Middle Grades Mathematics Classes
Carter, Traci; Kombe, Dennis; Che, S. Megan
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Joint Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) (38th) and the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA) (36th, Vancouver, Canada, Jul 15-20, 2014)
In this paper we present findings from a study investigating the relationship between all girls' classes, all boys' classes and coeducational classes on student mathematics self-concept and student perception of classroom environment. Further, we compared responses of girls in all girls' classes to girls in coeducational classes and responses of boys in all boys' classes to boys in coeducational classes. Using the Mathematics Attitude Scale and the What is Happening in This Class questionnaire, we found no significant differences in student responses on any of the subscales or domains for any of the subgroups, except for Math as a Male Domain. Our findings indicate that student mathematics self-concept and student perception of the classroom environment are similar regardless of whether students are in a single-sex or a coeducational class.
