Accessing and Assessing Components of Elementary and Middle School Students’ Mathematical Disposition Through Metaphors

ABSTRACT This study examined student-generated metaphors comparing food to math as a means of accessing and assessing components of prekindergarten through Grade 8 students’ (N = 306) mathematical disposition. Previous research provided insight into predominantly affective components of older students’ mathematical disposition (i.e. Grade 4 through college). However, we extend these findings to include nonaffective components and younger students. Our study highlights the value in conceptualizing mathematical disposition as the sum of three mental functions, namely cognitive (e.g., mental processes such as reasoning), affective (e.g., attitudes, feelings, beliefs about mathematics or oneself as a learner), and conative (e.g., effort, grit, or level of challenge), and whose components may span multiple categories of these mental functions. Our study also extends the research on mathematical disposition by revealing that it is conditional in addition to being complex. Furthermore, several notable grade-based trends from data emerged in relation to students’ enjoyment of mathematics as well as their views regarding the applicability, prevalence, and variety and complexity of mathematics.

The results of the Mathematical Literacy Research discuss Indonesia's involvement in PISA since 2000, which has never experienced a significant increase in ranking until 2018. Even the 2018 PISA results showed that Indonesia was ranked in the bottom 10 in the world with an average score of Indonesian students mathematical literacy of 359, while the average was 489. This study aims to describe the mathematical literacy skills of grade X students in solving PISA questions in terms of mathematical disposition abilities. This study uses a descriptive type of research with a qualitative approach with three instruments to be used in this study, namely a mathematical disposition scale questionnaire, a mathematical literacy test, and interview guidelines. The research instrument was first consulted with the collaborating lecturer. The results of the disposition test from 33 grade X.1 students were then analyzed to determine the grouping of students' mathematical disposition abilities. The mathematical disposition scale is given to students in three groups: high, medium, and low. The subjects of this study were four students in the class with different levels of mathematical disposition abilities. Based on the results of this study, the literacy abilities of students reviewed in mathematical disposition tend to vary. Students with a high level of disposition have better literacy and problem-solving skills than those with a medium or low level of disposition

Mathematical Disposition and The Impact of Learning Cycle 7E on Problem-Solving Skills in Mathematics

The Effect of Mathematical Disposition on Students' Mathematical Performance

Mathematical disposition is a tendency to think and act in a positive way. Changes in learning activities due to Covid-19 have an impact on the learning environment. This study aims to obtain an overview between dispositions and mathematical performance in online learning, and the effect of disposition on the mathematical performance of high school students. This research is concerned with correlation and regression analysis that relates mathematical dispositions to mathematical performance on relation and function material. The research was conducted on 70 high school students from the city of Bandung. To analyze data related to correlation and regression, Pearson product-moment was used. The results of this study were as follows: 1) A significant positive correlation was observed between mathematical disposition scores (X), and mathematical performance scores (Y) with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.42, this means that r2 = 17.2%. The variation in students’ mathematical performance (Y) can be explained by the student’s mathematical disposition variable (X). 2) Based on the regression equation Y = 34.211 + 0.548X, this shows that because the X coefficient is 0.548 > 0 (positive) and significant, the mathematical disposition variable has a positive effect on mathematical performance in online learning. Keywords: high school students, mathematical disposition, mathematical performance

Students’ Mathematical Disposition and Resilience: An Analysis of Student Perceptions in Numbers and Algebra Courses

Mathematics not only emphasizes the mastery of concepts and principles, but mathematics also has a mission to build student affection through mathematical disposition and resilience. Not only elementary students but also college students have the potential to have a negative attitude toward mathematics. If this happens, the dynamics of affection in mathematics learning must be questioned. To further the investigation, this study aims to analyze the perceptions of primary teacher education students from Sanata Dharma University in the Numbers and Algebra Course terms in the context of mathematical disposition and resilience. Through a qualitative approach involving 98 students from two different classes, the results of this study showed that: 1) factors that influence students' attitudes towards mathematics are their early motivation, 2) attitudes towards mathematics are related to activities and student learning outcomes, 3) aspects of mathematical disposition that need to be optimized are self-confidence and curiosity, 4) aspects of mathematical resilience to note are efficacy and resilience. This study has significant implications for implementing learning, especially in the context of mathematical disposition and resilience. The results of this study can be used as initial diagnostic recommendations in learning planning that leads to effective student outcomes.

LEARNING STYLES AND MATHEMATICAL DISPOSITIONS AS PREDICTORS OF THE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether learning styles and mathematical dispositions predict students critical thinking skills. This study employed a descriptive and correlational research approach. Using stratified random sampling, 271 grade 10 students were selected as respondents from six public secondary schools in Kapalong East District, Davao del Norte Division during the school year 2022-2023. Furthermore, this study employed two adapted survey questionnaires and one researcher-made questionnaire, all of which were validated to collect data and treated using mean, standard deviation, Spearmans Rank Correlation Coefficient, and regression analysis. The findings showed that the learning styles among the students are high, their mathematical dispositions are moderate, and their critical thinking skills are low. The findings also revealed that learning styles has a positive significant relationship and influence on students critical thinking skills in mathematics. However, students mathematical dispositions have an inverse relationship and influence to their critical thinking skills in mathematics. These findings underscore the importance of nurturing critical thinking skills among students. It is recommended that teachers and DepEd officials collaborate to create interventions aimed at enhancing students critical thinking skills. Furthermore, replication studies across diverse contexts are advised to validate the longevity of these relationships and further advance our comprehension of the subject matter. KEYWORDS: Learning styles, mathematical dispositions, critical thinking skills, grade 10 students, descriptive-correlational approach, regression analysis, Kapalong East District, Davao del Norte.

How mathematical dispositions of adult learners play a role in their STEM choices

AbstractMathematical dispositions, or an individual's behavioral (i.e., things they say and do), cognitive (i.e., attention and memory), and affective (i.e., emotions and beliefs) tendencies related to mathematics, are critical to the learning of mathematics and choices related to STEM. Previous research has suggested that adult learners may possess unproductive mathematical dispositions, such as high math anxiety and low math self‐efficacy. This paper argues that unproductive mathematical dispositions may serve as a barrier to adult learners' STEM choices and provides strategies and techniques to help move adult learners towards productive mathematical dispositions and potentially stronger attraction to STEM fields.

Enhancing Mathematical Disposition in Geometry Instruction : The Role of E-Comics in Realistic Mathematics Education

<p dir="ltr"><span>Success in learning mathematics can be measured through five aspects called the five strands of mathematical proficiency. These five aspects need to be taught fairly, resulting in a change in students' mathematical attitudes where this aspect is still minimally looked at and researched. Therefore, the research aims to analyze changes in students' mathematical dispositions by reviewing the role of e-comics in Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). This context-based mathematics learning approach is assumed to provide meaningful learning for students. This mixed-methods research with a sequential explanatory research design was carried out on 30 elementary school students by combining quantitative data collection and analysis techniques with qualitative data support. The research showed that using e-comics in RME learning significantly improved students' mathematical dispositions with a large effect size (Cohen’s effect size = 0,98). In a qualitative review involving data triangulation, evidence was found that using e-comics in RME learning has a role in facilitating the development of each student indicator, as evidenced in the high students’ enthusiasm or response in learning both in observations, questionnaires, and documentation studies. In this way, it is hoped that this innovation can be researched and developed further on a more diverse scale and content. In addition, this research provides further opportunities for research and teacher training related to developing RME learning designs and e-comics in learning.</span></p><div><span><br /></span></div>
