Effects of Background and School Factors on the Mathematics Achievement.
Papanastasiou, Constantinos
Educational Research and Evaluation: An International Journal on Theory and Practice, v8 n1 p55-70 Mar 2002
Using a structural equation model, this study investigated the mathematics achievement of eighth graders in Cyprus enrolled in the year 1994-1995. The model considered two exogenous constructs related to student background and five endogenous constructs. Although attitudes, teaching, and beliefs had direct effect on mathematics outcomes, these effects were not statistically significant. (SLD)
