Abstract: | This paper describes the process of developing a survey instrument aimed at measuring aspects of mathematical confidence, value, and the interconnectedness of mathematics as part of a larger study investigating the thinking processes and attitudes towards mathematics of Singaporean secondary school students (aged 12-14) during interdisciplinary learning. Results from exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on scale items tested revealed six scales with sound validity and reliability properties. The scales are intended for measuring attitudes towards mathematics particularly during interdisciplinary education. |
