Affect and Motivation in Mathematics Education

Sun, April 14, 7:45 to 9:15am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 108A

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This set of papers explores various angles to studying motivation and affect in mathematics education. Some authors investigate aspects of teachers’ and students’ math anxiety, while others examine how high school students’ motivational patterns differ according to their math identities. Still others investigate teaching practices that leverage self-determination theory to support Black and Latine adolescents’ motivation in mathematics, and how teachers work with a personalized technology that responds to students’ affect while solving problems. This session will stimulate conversation on the affective dimension of mathematics and how to support motivation and positive mathematics experiences among teachers and students.
