The responses of 895 8th graders perceiving themselves as failing in mathematics were
analysed. Satisfaction was the factor best predicting pupils’ mathematics self-concept for
8th graders perceiving themselves as failing at mathematics. General self-concept,
enjoyment and sense of progress promoted by Individual work and motivation promoted
by Teacher explanation predicted their mathematics self-concept to a lesser extent.
Attribution Offailure to lack of ability, perceived difficulty in classroom, sense of progress
promoted by Individual help predicted mathematics self-concept negatively. The Multiple
R value was .585, and the adjusted R value was .334 (AN0VA: F=41.247, p<. 01). See
Table 7.5.4 for details. The prediction was stronger at 8th grade than 5th grade.
