failing, the perceived frequency of deployment of Reading a textbook, perceived
satisfaction in mathematics classes, feeling happy with the teacher’s praise for better
results than others and sense of progress promoted by Using a computer positively
predicted pupils’ mathematics self-concept, although the contributions of each were
relatively low. The Multiple R value was .361, the adjusted R square was .112 (ANOVA:
F=7.030, p<. 01). See Table 7.5.2 for details. The variables were less successful in
predicting the mathematics self-concept of those who perceived themselves as failing.

The responses of 1261 8th graders perceiving their mathematics learning as successful
were analysed. For pupils perceiving their mathematics learning as successful at 8th
grade as at 5th grade, perceived satisfaction was the most important factor predicting
mathematics self-concept. General self-concept, enjoyment promoted by Practical work,
motivation promoted by Individual work, attribution of success to ability or task easiness
and perceived competitiveness in classroom predicted their mathematics self-concept to
a lesser extent. Pupils’ attribution of success to luck, perceived difficulty and
cohesiveness in a classroom, feeling happy with teacher’s praise for enhancement of
effort contributed negatively. The Multiple R value was .561, the adjusted R value was
.306 (ANOVA: F=39.520, p<. 01). See Table 7.5.3 for details.
