| Abstract (English): |
The subject of mathematics is highly valued socially. However, it suffers the rejection of students and obtains a low performance in the school curriculum. This research aims to analyse the predictive value in academic performance of variables such as attitude, sex and profession and studies of parents. A casual non-probabilistic sampling was applied to 2.549 high school students. Subsequently, descriptive, correlational and predictive analyses were carried out. The results show the importance of attitude, pleasure and usefulness of mathematics, although the profession and studies of parents influence differently depending on sex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
En educación, la matemática es una materia bien valorada socialmente, si bien sufre el rechazo de los alumnos y obtiene un rendimiento bajo en el curriculum escolar. Esta investigación pretende, verificada la calidad de la escala "Actitudes hacia las Matemáticas" de Mato-Vázquez (2006), analizar el valor predictivo en el rendimiento académico que tienen variables como la actitud, el sexo y los estudios y profesión de los padres. Utilizamos un muestreo no probabilístico casual a 2.549 sujetos de ESO, y se realizó un estudio de corte descriptivo, correlacional y predictivo. Los resultados muestran la importancia de la actitud, agrado y utilidad de las matemáticas, si bien la profesión y estudios de los padres influyen de diferente manera en función del sexo.
