Abstract

Insights into elementary students' mathematics motivation from surveys embedded within a mathematics software

This poster presents descriptive information and select results of elementary students’ mathematics motivation using data from surveys embedded within a mathematics learning software as part of the NSF Grant, Evaluation for Actionable Change: A Data-Driven Approach. Within the software, Spatial Temporal (ST) Math, surveys on students’ mathematics expectancies, values, and academic emotions were presented to students three times a year: in the fall, winter, and spring during third through fifth grades. This overview poster illustrates how the items are presented to students and represents students’ responses over the course of three years across four school districts within the U.S.
