Abstract
AVILA-TOSCANO, José Hernando; VARGAS-DELGADO, Leonardo José; ALONSO-MIRANDA, Marien Fernanda and DE LA CRUZ-GONZALEZ, Jean Carlos. Attitudes Towards Mathematics in Future Teachers: EAHM-U Scale Colombian Adaptation. Educare [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1, pp.169-186. ISSN 1409-4258. http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/ree.27-1.14302.
Introduction:
Positive and negative attitudes influence the teaching-learning processes of mathematics, so this study focused on analyzing the psychometric properties of the Attitudes Toward Mathematics Scale (EAHM-U) in Colombian university students to provide a context-adjusted and truly validated measurement tool.
Method:
An instrumental design was used with 446 undergraduate mathematics students to analyze the factor structure and internal consistency of the instrument scores.
Results:
a 13-item instrument with two dimensions called benefit from mathematics and difficulty in learning mathematics was obtained.
Discussion:
The modified scale presents adequate psychometric qualities, favorable levels of reliability in the scores, and indicators of replicability, suggesting that the items measure each dimension appropriately.
Keywords : Attitudes towards mathematics; teachers; teaching-learning; questionnaire.
