Factors Affecting Attitudes Towards Mathematics

Abstract

Various factors are believed to affect attitudes towards mathematics, including factors related to opportunity to learn. However, since opportunity to learn factors that affect attitudes towards mathematics were somehow sketchily elaborated in previous studies, therefore this paper aims at investigating and discussing in further detail the link between opportunity to learn factors and attitudes towards mathematics. The results showed that attitudes towards mathematics is influenced by three key factors of opportunity to learn, that are content coverage, teaching practice and teaching quality.
