“…A questionnaire administered (Amiripour et al, 2016) to the educational personnel was modified from Nedzinskas' dissertation's focus on business to focus on educational change. The questionnaire has two sections: the first a few demographical items; and the second with the study focus items.…”

“…This approach provides students with a way of building concrete representations for whole number mathematical word problems and using these representations to separate data, units, and operations and then sequence them visually to build a path to the problem solution (Amiripour, Dossey, Shahvarani, Tabibi, 2016). This approach, and similar approaches indicate that they have the basis for creating successful programs that can alter students' approach to mathematical problem solving in primary grades (Carpenter, Fennema, Franke, Levi, & Empson, 2014;Dyson, Jordan, Beliakoff, & Hassinger-Da, 2015;Fagnant & Vlassis, 2013).…”

This study is an adjunct to a research effort focused on a mathematical curricular innovation in four non-governmental schools in Tehran, Iran. This study queried balanced, random sample of 100 educational personnel from the schools concerning dynamic capabilities associated with change (sensing opportunities, seizing opportunities, and reconfiguring assets) and issues surrounding organizational inertia (finding resources, confronting path dependency in change, and establishing new processes). Additional data collected described the personnel's perceptions about innovations and new processes instituted in their schools. Student performance data from the prior year's final mathematical examination were also gathered. The data describe a portion of the educational change potential of the schools, including improved student achievement. The variables informed by all of the data were evaluated by multivariate methods. The findings showed that beliefs about dynamic capabilities had a significant positive impact on educational performance and that educational performance had a positive impact on the final mathematical exam scores. The results also indicate that the organizational inertia of the schools had a significant negative impact on the educational performance of the schools. Conclusions were formed based on the analysis of the defining factors of the variables mentioned above and recommendations given for implementing change are proposed.

“…In this study, three factors relating to attitude towards mathematics were examined. These are perceived parental influences (Cao, Bishop, & Forgasz, 2006), teacher's affective support (Sakiz, Pape, & Hoy, 2012;Sakiz, 2007) and classroom instruction (Abu Bakar et al, 2010;Tessema, 2010).…”

Students' attitude towards mathematics is affected by factors such as parental influences, teacher affective support and classroom instruction. The purpose of this research was to examine the inter-relationships between these factors and effects on attitude towards mathematics using a partial least squares-structural equation modeling approach. A survey was carried out with a sample of 318 Form Four students from Sabah, Malaysia. The questionnaire consists of four scales: Perceived Parental Influences, Teacher Affective Support, Classroom Instruction and Attitude towards Mathematics. IBM SPSS 19.0 and Smart PLS 2.0 were used to analyze the measurement and structural models. The results showed that with the exclusion of some indicators from the scales, the measurement models showed acceptable reliability and validity. The structural model has moderate predictive relevance but the inter-relationships of the constructs in the structural model were significant. Teacher affective support and classroom instruction predict attitude towards mathematics more than parental influences.
