Abstract

Emotions such as anxiety, fear, and frustration can interfere with cognitive processing and hinder our ability to learn and perform well on tasks. Mathematics is a school subject that could generate various emotions in students. This study examined mathematics achievement emotions of students across gender, grade level, and academic performance. Data was collected from 246 students using a questionnaire measuring seven emotions: enjoyment, pride, anger, anxiety, shame, hopelessness, and boredom. Results indicated that except for females’ higher pride, we did not find differences between males' and females’ emotions. Ninth-grade students demonstrated higher anxiety and shame than grade seven and eight students. Finally, students’ mathematics exam grades are weakly correlated with all seven measured emotions. Our findings add to the literature by presenting that emotions are contextual. Except for pride, the results clearly indicated that math emotions in our sample are gender irrelevant and further imply that the socio-cultural context of Kazakhstan supports females to compete with their male friends.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationships between students' perceptions, interests, and engagement in mathematics within the cultural framework of K-12 education in Kazakhstan. A diverse sample of K-12 students representing various grade levels and community settings was included in the research. The analysis proceeded in three distinct phases: first, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate the reliability of the instrument; second, a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was applied to examine relationships between variables and assess the overall model fit; and finally, descriptive and inferential statistical methods were employed. Students perceived mathematical abilities and interests were identified as significant predictors of their attitudes toward mathematics teachers, as revealed through SEM. Due to the nature of the data, nonparametric tests were utilized to explore group differences. The findings indicated a consistent pattern of negative student perceptions regarding their mathematical abilities and interests, juxtaposed with positive attitudes toward their mathematics teachers. These positive attitudes were more closely associated with students' personal rapport with teachers rather than their instructional effectiveness. Further analyses examined variations in perceptions across different grade levels and community settings, revealing the influence of contextual factors. Notably, no significant gender differences were observed, challenging existing literature on gender disparities in education. The study underscores the importance of adopting holistic educational strategies that account for cultural contexts and promote teacher-student solid relationships.
