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.

The Relationship

The relationship between mathematics self-concept and mathematics achievement was investigated with a sample of 404 seventh-grade students in the Portland, Oregon, Public Schools. Correlations were obtained using the Pearson product-moment coefficient, for several measures of self-concept of ability and mathematics achievement.A significant relationship was found between self-concept of ability in mathematics and mathematics achievement. For the specific self-concept measures used, mathematics self-concept was found to be the best predictor of mathematics achievement.The results suggest needed research on the question whether there is a cause-and-effect relationship between a student's self-concept of his ability to do mathematics and his achievement. In particular, will a change in self-concept (higher) result in a corresponding change in achievement?
