Abstract

This interactive panel is designed as a forum for considering present understanding about the development of math self-concept and its relation to achievement among students in K-12. Papers 1 and 2 focus on how the relation between students’ math self-concept and achievement may be moderated by measurement of math self-concept, students’ achievement level, age, or gender. Paper 3 examines a potential mediating mechanism underlying the relation between students’ math self-concept and achievement. Papers 4 and 5 investigate how the development of students’ math self-concept may be influenced by factors such as gender stereotype and ability grouping. Overall, this symposium aims to contribute knowledge regarding students’ math self-concept and discuss educational implications of the presented research.
