UNICIENCIA123772020-03-11T00:47:05Z Impacts of attitudes, social development, mother’s educational level and self-efficacy on academic achievement in mathematics Las actitudes hacia la matemática, el desarrollo social, el nivel educativo de la madre y la autoeficacia como factores asociados al rendimiento académico en la matemática Zamora-Araya, José Andrey secondary education academic performance factor analysis self-concept enseñanza secundaria rendimiento escolar análisis factorial autoconcepto The document addresses the problem of low academic performance in Mathematics (LPM). Its principal objective is to analyze how academic performance relates to attitudes towards this subject, perceptions of self-efficacy, social development and the educational level of students’ mothers. One hundred and ninety-seven (197) students in the 7th, 8th and 9th grades of middle and high school, between 13 and 16 years old, participated in the study. This correlational study used techniques of exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression to determine the association between the constructs. The results confirm the importance of students trusting in their abilities when performing mathematical tasks, which is reflected on the significant coefficients for the dimensions of confidence (p = 0.001) and master experience (p <0.001), but the educational level of the mother did not have a significant effect on learning outcomes. Unexpected results were also found with respect to social development and some dimensions of the scale of attitudes towards mathematics, but the impacts of these constructs and self-efficacy on LPM were verified. Based on these findings, it is recommended to carry out further research on the effects of these factors. El documento trata sobre la problemática del bajo rendimiento académico en matemática (RAM) y, como objetivo principal, analiza de qué manera se relaciona este con las actitudes hacia la materia, la autoeficacia percibida, el desarrollo social y el nivel educativo. Participaron 197 estudiantes de 7.o, 8.o y 9.o grado de colegio con edades entre los 13 y 16 años. El estudio es de tipo correlacional y se utilizaron las técnicas de análisis factorial exploratorio y regresión múltiple, para determinar la asociación entre los constructos. Tales tácticas confirman la importancia de que los estudiantes tengan seguridad en sí mismos cuando realizan tareas matemáticas, lo que se refleja en los coeficientes significativos para las dimensiones de confianza (p = 0.001) y experiencia de maestría (p < 0.001), pero no así el nivel educativo de la madre. También, se obtuvieron resultados inesperados con respecto al desarrollo social y algunas dimensiones de la escala de actitudes hacia la matemática; sin embargo, se reafirma lo fundamental de estos constructos y la autoeficacia en el RAM, por lo que se recomienda ampliar la investigación sobre dichas variables.
