MEZA-CASCANTE, Luis Gerardo et al. Attitude towards mathematics: perception of the attitude of parents. Comunicación [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.1, pp.4-15. ISSN 1659-3820.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18845/rc.v28i1-2019.4437.

This research presents the results of a study in mathematics education on affective domain analyzing the relationship between three variables: “attitude towards mathematics,” “perception of the attitude toward mathematics,” and “the student’s mother’s perceptions of the attitude toward mathematics” among Costa Rican secondary students in 2017. The study concludes that there are no differences on the first variables according to gender, yet the other two show higher levels for males and small effect size. Furthermore, significant relationships, both positive and moderate, are found among all three variables.

Keywords : attitude; math; secondary education.
