| Summary: | This study aimed to examine the influence of three constructs - mathematics
classroom learning environment, students' attitude towards mathematics and
academic self-efficacy in mathematics - and their influence towards students'
mathematics achievement. For this purpose, a sample of 235 allied health college
students was randomly selected from two campuses of Masterskill Global College
(formerly known as Masterskill College of Nursing and Health). The questionnaire
was a combination of three sets of inventories that had been modified to suit the
purpose of study. They were the College and University Classroom Environment
Inventory (CUCEI), Attitude towards Mathematics Inventory (ATMI), and College
Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (CASES). Two statistical procedures were utilized to
examine the demographic and data 'analyses, which were descriptives and
inferential statistics. The analyses reported respondents had high and positive
perception on all constructs, and there were also significant difference in
respondents' perception based on campuses and mathematics achievement grades.
However, all three constructs did hot significantly influence- achievement in
mathematics. Thus, for future research purposes it is hope that-other contributing
factors will be studied on, so as to fill this knowledge gap. Additional research could
also be conducted in other allied health colleges |
