Este artículo evalúa la dimensión afectiva de 1180 alumnos de Educación Primaria respecto a las matemáticas durante el curso 2011-2012. Para ello se describe, en primer lugar, la percepción que tienen los estudiantes sobre las actitudes de su profesor de matemáticas, la satisfacción que sienten hacia la materia y el valor que le otorga de cara a su futuro profesional. Posteriormente se analizan las asociaciones e influencias respecto a las variables centro (público y concertado) y curso (3º, 4º, 5º y 6º) mediante la prueba no paramétrica de Kruskal-Wallis. Finalmente, para conocer los efectos generales y específicos de la variable actitud sobre el rendimiento académico recurrimos a la correlación de Pearson. Finaliza el artículo con los resultados y la presentación de las conclusiones obtenidas. Podemos decir que los procesos afectivos influyen en las experiencias de los alumnos cuándo se enfrentan al aprendizaje matemático y repercuten en su calificación.
Despite growing numbers, Latinos lag behind whites in higher education. This gap is especially salient for Latino men, who earned only 37.6 percent of associate's and bachelor's degrees awarded to Latino students in 2010. The following study uses interviews with thirteen ethnically diverse, first-generation, self-identified Latino men currently enrolled in four-year universities in the Greater Boston area to explore the influences Latino men idetnify as impacting their collge success and persistence rates. Grounded theory analysis of the inerview data reveals the correlations between previous academic experiences and family influence on participants' ability to graduate. The paramount role of participants' cultural constructions of masculinity and their effect on help-seeking behaviors was a surprising and unique finding. Masculinity and help-seeking behaviors were, therefore, found to play a key role in college achievement and persistence for the men in this study. This article also discusses implications for mental hleath practitioners, educational advocacy groups, and universities.
