“…In the same vein, Laranang and Bondoc (2020) mentioned that students might exert more effort to improve their attitudes toward mathematics by enhancing their self-confidence to become more motivated to learn it. This result conflicts with Shamsuddin et al (2018) previously mentioned study, which discovered self-confidence as the second factor of mathematics attitude, the first factor (FA1) in this study. However, this study only focused on statistics, while other studies focused on mathematics and calculus.…”

Statistics is an important subject to learn. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with data collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation and organisation. Statistics is important not only for specialists in numerous fields but also for everyday life. However, some students perceive statistics to be a tough subject. Therefore, this study aims to determine the factors that impact students' attitudes toward statistics. The factors were found using factor analysis. One hundred thirty-six students responded to the questionnaire related to students' attitudes toward statistics. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics in addition to factor analysis. According to this study's findings, self-confidence was the most important factor impacting students' attitudes toward statistics. Other important factors were mindset, interest, conceptual understanding and perseverance. These findings can assist educators in developing new methods of teaching skills to improve student learning in statistics classes.

“…Children develop their attitude towards mathematics through social interactions and educational experiences, whether through direct exposure or indirect influences (Aiken, 1972;Ajisuksmo & Saputri, 2017;Barkatsas, 2012;Kontas, 2016;Mata et al, 2012;Quane et al, 2021;Shamsuddin et al, 2018). Attitudes, particularly attitudes towards mathematics, are an essential objective of instruction affecting learning, memory, retention, and behaviour (Ma, 1997;Mata et al, 2012).…”

The use of manipulatives to develop conceptual understanding is a prevalent practice in many mathematical learning experiences, particularly in the early years of schooling. From primary student perspectives, our understanding of the impact of manipulatives in mathematics education on students’ attitudes is limited. This study evaluates the impact of mathematical manipulatives on Young Children’s Attitudes Towards Mathematics (YCATM) by examining children’s drawings, as well as their written and verbal descriptions of their drawings from 106 year 2 and year 3 students. Classroom observations were conducted to investigate how attitudes towards mathematics are enacted during mathematical learning experiences. The modified three-dimensional model of attitude (MTMA) and Bruner’s experiential stages were used to investigate how manipulatives influence YCATM. Data analyses used systematic, numerical coding, and thematic and comparative approaches, employing inductive, deductive, and anticipatory coding for data from both lesson and non-lesson contexts. The findings suggest that young children enjoyed using manipulatives, contributing to their vision of mathematics and perceived competence. However, the transition between enactive, iconic, and symbolic experiences can contribute to the formation of negative attitudes. The present study also emphasizes the importance of context, content, and familiarity with the use of manipulatives.

“…Maksud hasill ini bahwa kontribusi dari kepercayaan diri terhadap kemampuan penalaran matematis siswa adalah sebesar 13.1 %, sedangkan pengaruh variabel lain, sisanya adalah 86.9 %. Penelitian yang di lakukan oleh (Kunhertanti and Santosa 2018) (Shamsuddin et al 2018) menunjukkan bahwa kepercayaan diri berkontribusi terhadap pembelajaran matematika. Selanjutnya hasil penelitian dari (Çiftçi and Yildiz 2019) menunjukan kepercayaan diri memberikan efek sedang terhadap prestasi matematika.…”

This study aims to determine the contribution of self-confidence to the mathematical reasoning abilities of high school students. The method used in this research is a survey method with correlation and regression techniques. The research sample was 93 high school students in the city of Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, with different abilities. The instrument used in this study was a written test of mathematical reasoning abilities on absolute value material, as well as a set of self-confidence questionnaire statements. Data analysis of mathematical reasoning ability and self-confidence in this study is the Pearson correlation analysis and regression with the help of SPSS 16.0. The results of the research data analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between self-confidence and students' mathematical reasoning abilities. The contribution of self-confidence to mathematical reasoning ability was 13.1% in the medium category. Students who have good self-confidence will always think positively that they are confident in their abilities, can solve special problems that require reasoning, thereby significantly increasing their reasoning abilities.
