“…Through the administration of a questionnaire that has been designed for the Study, student participants indicated the extent to which each of them values individual aspects of mathematics learning, such as small-group discussions, the use of textbooks, and problem solving. The questionnaire items were drawn from prior research studies on values and valuing in mathematics education (Dede, 2011;Tan & Lim, 2013). The WIFI Study's design reflects the theoretical perspective of interpretivism, and a methodology, which is survey research.…”

In this article, gender differences in the valuing of mathematics by Hong Kong primary and secondary students have been investigated. The participants were 1081 upper primary school (Grades 5 and 6) and secondary school (Grades 8 and 9) students from various metropolitan Hong Kong schools. An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted to investigate the existence of gender differences on a number of values components. Statistically significant differences between boys' and girls' valuing of mathematics learning were found on three of the nine components derived via a Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

“…The WIFI study was designed to identify what individual students value in their personal mathematics learning experiences. Contemporary approaches to measuring values and valuing tended to employ the methods of lesson observations and/or interviews (see, e.g., Keitel, 2003;Tan & Lim, 2013), which has also meant small sample sizes. However, anecdotal evidence suggested that not only do small sampling sizes affect generalizability, the length of time required to assess student values has also been a disincentive for classroom teachers.…”

Purpose: Given the unclear relationship between cognition and affect, this article reports on a study exploring how the volitional variable of values may provide some explanation for students with excellent performance despite a negative attitude toward mathematics. Design/Approach/Methods: It is part of an international “What I Find Important (in my mathematics learning)” [WIFI] study, which assesses the attributes of mathematics learning and teaching that are valued by students. The participants of this study were a total of 816 Korean students who responded to the WIFI questionnaire. Findings: The results of principal component analysis indicated that the following five attributes about mathematics and mathematics pedagogy were valued by Korean students: understanding, connections, fun, accuracy, and efficiency. These attributes were further analyzed with relation to student gender, school system, and student confidence. Originality/Value: Korean students’ valuing of understanding and connections is noteworthy. It is hoped that the findings of this study might explain Korean students’ exceptional performance despite a generally low affective mode, and extending this further, how values in mathematics education might be a useful construct to help us make sense of the observed mismatch beyond Korea and more globally.
