Schindler, Maike; Bakker, Arthur – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
Educators in mathematics have long been concerned about students' motivation, anxiety, and other affective characteristics. Typically, research into affect focuses on one theoretical construct (e.g., emotion, motivation, beliefs, or interest). However, we introduce the term affective field to account for a person's various affective factors…

Headrick, Lorna; Wiezel, Adi; Tarr, Gabriel; Zhang, Xiaoxue; Cullicott, Catherine E.; Middleton, James A.; Jansen, Amanda – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
Spontaneous problem posing (SPP) is presented as a phenomenon central to mathematical thinking, wherein learners generate problems without formal prompting, and where posed problems originate from the learner's motivation to improve their knowledge. Because of this, they may serve as important markers of productive mathematical engagement--in…

Martínez-Sierra, Gustavo; García-González, María del Socorro – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2017
Little research in the field of Mathematics Education is directed towards emotions of students beyond their emotions in problem-solving. In particular, the daily emotions of students in a mathematics class have been sparsely studied in the field of mathematics education. In order to fill this gap, this qualitative research aims to identify high…

Daher, Wajeeh; Anabousy, Ahlam; Jabarin, Roqaya – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2018
Researchers of mathematics education have been paying attention to the affective aspect of learning mathematics for more than one decade. Different theoretical frameworks have been suggested to analyze this aspect, where we utilize in the present research the discursive framework of Evans, Morgan and Tsatsaroni. This framework enables to link…

Schukajlow, Stanislaw; Krug, André – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
We conducted an experimental study with 192 ninth graders in which we investigated a connection between performance and students' interest and enjoyment using task-unspecific and task-specific questionnaires. Students were randomly assigned to experimental group 1 or to experimental group 2. In group 1, they were asked about their affective…

Bailey, MarLynn; Taasoobshirazi, Gita; Carr, Martha – Journal of Educational Research, 2014
Previous studies have shown that several key variables influence student achievement in geometry, but no research has been conducted to determine how these variables interact. A model of achievement in geometry was tested on a sample of 102 high school students. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypothesized relationships among…

Egodawatte, Gunawardena – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2009
Research studies have shown that students encounter difficulties in transitioning from arithmetic to algebra. Errors made by high school students were analyzed for patterns and their causes. The origins of errors were: intuitive assumptions, failure to understand the syntax of algebra, analogies with other familiar symbol systems such as the…

Liljedahl, Peter, Ed.; Nicol, Cynthia, Ed.; Oesterie, Susan, Ed.; Allan, Darien, Ed. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
The theme of the 38th meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME 38) and the 36th meeting of the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA 36) was "Mathematics Education at the Edge." Academically, the theme provides opportunities to highlight and examine…
