Grit is defined as passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals. In the subject of Mathematics in primary school, there is a need for students to persevere to get answers. Grit encourages students to continue working hard despite difficulties or failures and this trait is very important in the workplace. However, there are not many discussions that debate issues related to grit in Mathematics in the context of Tamil National Primary School (SJKT) students. There are three main issues that cause the grit issues expressed in this concept paper: (i) an attitude of giving up when solving high-level math problems; ii) no clear goals due to a lack of interest in learning Mathematics, and (iii) the ambiguity of grit level measurement in Mathematics in the context of SJKT students. This concept paper is unique because it elaborates on grit issues in Mathematics, especially among Indian students. This study suggests that grit empowerment should be done from primary school at SJKT through an effective student development program. This paper needs to be given attention so that the community is more aware of the development of grit in Mathematics, especially in the Indian student community. The proposed solutions can be developed through the school's efforts to make students more persistent and not give up when solving difficult Mathematical problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
