Love Maths, Why Not? Developing Students' Positive Learning Identities and Engagement in Mathematics. (2014)
- Abstract:
- Mathematics is the foremost enabling science that underpins research, development and innovation in every aspect of society. Recent trends in mathematics education show that attitude, confidence and a sense of personal relevance play an influential role in student engagement and achievement. Yet Australian students' achievement in mathematics has plateaued, and participation in mathematics is steadily declining. This study combines innovative pedagogical research in mathematics with research of positive learning identity and engagement to develop knowledge about educational practices that sustain the attention and positive engagement of our nations' future mathematicians, scientists and mathematically fluent citizenry.
