The Influence of Students' Beliefs on Mathematical Problem Solving towards Mathematics Achievement among Malaysian Matriculation Students

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate beliefs on mathematical problem solving among matriculation students. Five factors of students' beliefs on mathematical problem solving, i.e., difficult problems, steps, understanding, word problems and effort were investigated to predict factors that influence their mathematics achievement. The study sample consisted of 312 matriculation students from three matriculation colleges. The questionnaire was adapted from the Indiana Mathematics Beliefs Scale (IMBS) and a … Show more

“…As Brooks and Emmerst views, one that influences the self-concept of mathematics is confidence in solving mathematical problems. In line with the findings of Bakar, et al, that problem solving beliefs are very important to improve the ability to solve mathematical problems correctly, because of the positive belief that students will get high mathematics achievement [33].…”
