3-135 - The Contribution of Non-Cognitive Factors to Children's Math Learning

Sat, March 21, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Marriott, Floor: Level 4, Franklin Hall 13

Session Type: Paper Session

Integrative Statement

Children's development of skills that undergrid their achievement in math are of fundamental importance not only because of the importance of these areas to contemporary society, but also because they can set the foundation for learning more generally. The papers in this session focus on how non-cognitive factors may contribute to children's learning in math. The first two papers examine the role of aspects of the classroom on children's acheivement in math, with on naturally occuring teacher practices and the other on an intervention. The third paper explores the role of mothers' interactions with children around numbers. The final paper evaluates the effects of children's theories about ability on their motivation related to math. The four presentations cover not only a variety of non-cognitive factors, but also a wide age range -- the preschool to high school years.
