Mathematics Achievement Test

This study investigated the relationship among the acquisition of mathematics achievement and the abilities of conservation, seriation, and classification. Native Nigerian children, ages 4 to 8 yr. ( N = 120), were subjects. Data showed (a) moderate to high relationships of mathematics achievement and conservation, seriation, and classification abilities, (b) few sex differences either on the mathematics achievement test or on the performance of the various Piagetian tasks, and (c) that the operational stage is attained around the age 8 rather than somewhat earlier as we expected.

Mathematics Self Efficacy

A Saskatchewan sample of 191 (99 boys and 92 girls) and a Western Australian sample of 134 (49 boys and 85 girls) Grade 12 students were administered the Mathematics Achievement Test, Mathematics Self-efficacy Scale, and Mathematics Attitude Inventory. Total scores on two derived parallel forms of the Mathematics Achievement Test, three subscales of the Mathematics Self-efficacy Scale (daily, problems, and courses), and two derived attitude measures of the Mathematics Attitude Inventory, analyzed in a 2 × 2 multivariate analysis of variance design with gender and locale as the fixed factors, as expected, showed effects for gender, locale, and their interaction were significant. These results are related to the previous reports on these variables; instructional and theoretical implications are discussed.
