The influence of adversity quotient on students' mathematical understanding ability

Abstract

The objective of this article is to describe the influence of Adversity Quotient (AQ) on mathematical understanding ability from students' who is a candidate for the math teacher. The study was correlational research in the form of experiments. Population in this research is mathematics teacher candidate residing in Cimahi City, West Java, Indonesia, while samples are 55 mathematics teacher candidate specified purposively then determined randomly. The results of this research show that AQ gives positive influence to students' mathematical understanding ability with the coefficient of determination equal to 51,4%.
