Abstract

Background: Mathematics holds a critical position within educational systems worldwide due to its extensive applications. At Dadieso Senior High School in Ghana, students consistently demonstrate low performance in mathematics, necessitating an investigation into potential determinants of academic achievement.Aim: This study aims to examine the impact of students' attitudes towards mathematics and the self-efficacy of mathematics teachers on students' mathematical achievements.Method: A descriptive-correlational research design was adopted, employing quantitative methods to analyze the relationships between students' attitudes, teachers' self-efficacy, and students' academic performance. The study sampled 218 students and 7 teachers, utilizing the Attitude towards Mathematics Inventory (ATMI), the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (TSES), and a Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) for data collection.Results: The analysis revealed a moderate positive correlation between students' attitudes towards mathematics and their academic performance, indicating that positive attitudes are linked to better outcomes. Furthermore, a significant, albeit smaller, positive correlation was identified between teachers' self-efficacy and student achievement, highlighting the impact of teacher confidence on student success.Conclusion: Fostering positive attitudes towards mathematics among students is essential for improving academic performance. Likewise, enhancing teachers' self-efficacy substantially influences student achievement. These factors should be the focus of interventions aimed at enhancing mathematical outcomes in educational settings.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the factors influencing the attitude of students towards the study of mathematics in selected Junior High Schools in Asokore in the Sekyere East District of the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The study was based on the ABC Attitude Model. Random sampling was used to select 102 respondents (students) in Asokore in the Sekyere East District for the study. A questionnaire was the sole instrument employed in the study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. It was found that school administrators and the mathematics teachers in JHSs in Asokore in Sekyere East District are doing well to motivate students’ to improve their achievement in mathematics, whereas most parents are not complementing the effort of the schools and the teachers by providing for their wards needs and encouraging them to learn mathematics. It was also found that even though most students agreed that mathematics is useful even at work places, they still think that mathematics is boring and makes them nervous, and therefore do not like to learn it. In addition, it was established that mathematics is not the students’ favorite subject; therefore, they do not like mathematics classes and solving mathematics questions.
