Attitude towards math in Middle and High School students: The case of a bilingual school

Abstract

This research has determined the attitudes towards mathematics of Secondary Education students from Dowal School in Tegucigalpa-Honduras. This is a quantitative research based on an “Ex Post Facto” design where an attitude scale was provided to !"# students from seventh to eleventh grade in a bilingual context. The results communicate that the students have a positive self-concept and utility towards mathematics, although, a little interest towards learning this subject. It is concluded that the students present homogeneous characteristics and that in a global way they present a positive attitude towards mathematics.
