The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among the seventh grade students’ mathematics self efficacy, mathematics anxiety, attitudes towards mathematics, and mathematics achievements regarding gender and school type. Moreover, the role of three personal constructs (self efficacy, anxiety and attitude) and two demographics (gender and school type) on predicting mathematics achievement were also investigated. The Data was collected from 13 elementary schools in Çankaya District of Ankara in spring semester of 2010-2011 academic years. The total of 934 seventh grade students (477 female and 457 male) participated in the study. The participants were given three self reports; Mathematics Self Efficacy Scale (MSES), Mathematics Anxiety Scale (MANX) and Mathematics Attitude Scale (MAS), in order to quantify the levels of mathematics self efficacy, anxiety and attitude towards mathematics, respectively. Besides, Level Determination Exam (LDE) 2010 Mathematics Subtest Scores of participants were used to determine the students’ mathematics achievement. Causal comparative and correlation research design were used in this study. In addition, two way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis were performed to examine the data. Two way ANOVA results yielded that there was no interaction effect of gender and school type on personal constructs and mathematics achievement. Moreover, gender had significant main effect on each variable whereas school type had only main effect on attitude. Regression analyses revealed that four of the independent variables (self efficacy, anxiety, attitude and gender) were significantly correlated with the dependent variable (achievement). In addition, it was found that all the variables other than school type were significant predictor of achievement.

An investigation of mathematics anxiety among sixth through eighth grade students in Turkey
Birgin, Osman; Baloğlu, Mustafa; Catlioglu, Hakan; Gurbuz, Ramazan (2010-12-01)
The purpose of the present study is to investigate mathematics anxiety among 220 sixth through eighth grade Turkish students in terms of mathematics achievement levels, perceived enjoyment of the mathematics teaching method, perceived enjoyment of mathematics, and perceived help with mathematics from parents. The Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Primary School Students (Bindak, 2005) was used to assess the levels of mathematics anxiety. A 3 x 2 factorial analysis of variance results showed that there was not a...
Investigating self-efficacy, anxiety, attitudes and mathematics achievement regarding gender and school type
Recber, Senol; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Koc, Yusuf (2018-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among seventh grade students' mathematics self-efficacy, mathematics anxiety, attitudes towards mathematics, mathematics achievement, gender and school type. In order to examine the difference in self-efficacy, anxiety, attitude and achievement in terms of gender and school type, two-way ANO-VAs were performed. In addition, multiple regression analysis was run to investigate the role of mathematics self-efficacy, anxiety, attitude, gender and sch...
A study on preservice elementary mathematics teachers' mathematical problem solving beliefs
Kayan, Fatma; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2007)
This study analyzes the kinds of beliefs pre-service elementary mathematics teachers hold about mathematical problem solving, and investigates whether, or not, gender and university attended have any significant effect on their problem solving beliefs. The sample of the present study consisted of 244 senior undergraduate students studying in Elementary Mathematics Teacher Education programs at 5 different universities located in Ankara, Bolu, and Samsun. Data were collected in spring semester of 2005-2006 a...
A structural model on 7th grade students’ motivational beliefs, use of self-regulation strategies, and mathematics achievement
Kayan Fadlelmula, Fatma; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Sungur, Semra; Department of Elementary Education (2011)
This study was conducted in an attempt to integrate a number of cognitive, motivational and behavioral factors in elementary mathematics education, and to develop a theoretical model that explains the direct and indirect relationships among these concepts and their underlying dimensions. In particular, it was intended to examine the interrelationships among students’ achievement goal orientations, perception of classroom goal structure, self-efficacy, use of self-regulatory strategies, and academic achievem...
An investigation of mathematics achievement of eighth grade students with respect to their learning styles
Kurbal, Serkan Süleyman; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Educational Sciences (2011)
This study aimed to investigate the differences in mathematics achievement scores of the eighth grade students with respect to their learning styles. Mathematics achievements of the eighth grade students were determined by the number of correct answers given in the mathematics subtest of Level Determination Examination (abbreviated in Turkish as SBS) which was administered in June 2009. Mathematics achievements of the eighth grade students were also determined by teacher-assigned mathematics grades which we...
