methods according to their attribution styles of success in mathematics learning

5th graders’ affective attitudes towards mathematics learning as promoted by different
teaching methods, overall, did not vary according to their attribution of failure in
mathematics learning. However, 5th graders attributing their failure in mathematics
learning to lack of teacher support perceived that Teacher explanation could promote
positive affective attitudes towards mathematics learning less. In contrast, 5th graders
attributing their failure in mathematics learning to lack of effort, task difficulty or lack of
luck perceived Teacher explanation more positively (Table 7.2.3 and Figure 7.2.3). 5th
grader’s perceptions of the frequency of deployment of each teaching method did not
vary according to the way they attributed their failure (also see appendices Table
7.2.11).
