AbstractThe mathematical ability of Indonesian students is still lacking, especially when working on problems that require reasoning. Task value (which consists of intrinsic and attainment/utility values) and growth mindset were considered as factors that can influence student performance in performing complex tasks such as mathematics. A hypothesis formulated based on the purpose of this study as there is an effect of intrinsic value, attainment/utility value, and mindset on elementary student performance in mathematics. The variables in this study were measured by: 1) Subjective Task Value scale (? intrinsic value = 0.87; ? attainment / utility value = 0.79); 2) Implicit Theories of Intelligence scale for mindset (? = 0.84), and 3) mathematical tests (? = 0.84). The subjects of this study were 371 5th grade students in five schools in Jakarta selected by convenience sampling technique. Data processed with Multiple Regression techniques using IBM SPSS 22 for Windows. The analysis showed that the mindset had a greater role than the intrinsic value in predicting mathematical abilities. Also, the attainment/utility value did not significantly predict the performance of 5th-grade students.Keywords: Elementary School Students; Mathematics; Mindset; Task Value. AbstrakTingkat kemampuan matematika para siswa Indonesia pada umumnya masih tergolong kurang, terutama saat mengerjakan soal yang membutuhkan penalaran. Task value (yang terdiri dari intrinsic dan attainment/utility value) dan growth mindset dipertimbangkan sebagai faktor-faktor yang dapat memengaruhi kinerja siswa dalam mengerjakan tugas rumit seperti matematika. Tujuan penelitian ini dituangkan dalam suatu hipotesis yaitu terdapat pengaruh skor intrinsic value, attainment/utility value, dan mindset terhadap kinerja siswa SD dalam matematika. Variabel-variabel dalam penelitian ini diukur dengan: 1) skala Subjective Task Value (? intrinsic value = 0,87;  ? attainment/utility value = 0,79); 2) skala Implicit Theories of Intelligence untuk mindset (?=0,84), dan 3) tes matematika (?=0,72). Subjek penelitian ini adalah 371 siswa kelas 5 SD pada lima sekolah di Jakarta yang dipilih dengan teknik convenience sampling. Data diolah dengan teknik Multiple Regression menggunakan IBM SPSS 22 for Windows. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa mindset memiliki peranan yang lebih besar daripada intrinsic value dalam memprediksi kemampuan matematika. Selain itu, attainment/utility value tidak secara signifikan memprediksi kinerja siswa kelas 5 SD. Kata kunci:  Matematika; Mindset; Siswa SD; Task Value.

Abstract. In two experiments with Norwegian undergraduates and one experiment with US undergraduates, we examined the potential effects of brief task instructions aligned with incremental and entity views of intelligence on students’ performance on a rational thinking task. The research demonstrated that even brief one-shot task instructions that deliver a mindset about intelligence intervention can be powerful enough to affect students’ performance on such a task. This was only true for Norwegian male students, however. Moreover, it was the task instruction aligned with an entity theory of intelligence that positively affected Norwegian male students’ performance on the rational thinking task, with this unanticipated finding speaking to the context- and culture-specificity of implicit theories of intelligence interventions.

Implicit theories of intelligence are individual beliefs about the nature of intelligence, which are used on a daily basis as part of self-assessment and assessment of others, and are a significant factor shaping attitudes and behaviors. Research to date suggests that teachers can influence their students' beliefs about intelligence, which in turn affect motivation and achievement. According to Dweck's model, implicit theories of intelligence are a bipolar construct, with two theories at its extremes - the entity theory, which stresses the immutability of intelligence, and the incremental theory, which holds that intelligence can be improved through training and learning. Recent research, however, indicates that these two theories represent distinct, uncorrelated dimensions. The aim of this study was to carry out a psychometric evaluation of the Implicit Theories of Intelligence Scale (ITIS) and the Mathematics-Oriented Implicit Theory of Intelligence Scale (MOITIS). 228 primary and secondary school teachers in Serbia (87.7% female; average age 42.79 years) took part in the study. The results of factor analysis suggest the existence of two factors on both scales: incremental theory and entity theory. Further analysis showed that both factors of the ITIS and MOITIS scales have satisfactory psychometric properties. Significant differences were detected between primary and secondary school teachers on the ITIS scale. More specifically, among teachers of science subjects, mathematics and medical subjects the attitude that intelligence is a fixed trait is more pronounced than among teachers of the arts, humanities and social sciences.
