Peer reviewedKloosterman, Peter; Stage, Frances K. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Describes a study whose purpose was to develop and validate a set of belief scales for measuring secondary school and college students' beliefs about mathematics as a subject, how mathematics is learned, and mathematical problem solving. Provides an example of the "Indiana Mathematics Belief Scales." (MDH)
