Abstract

This study investigates the mediating roles of mathematical interest and perseverance on the effects of cognitive activation on mathematical achievement. The results show that cognitive activation had a direct and positive effect on students’ mathematics achievement. Specifically, the positive relationship between cognitive activation and mathematical achievement was 1) prominently mediated by mathematical interest, 2) partially mediated by perseverance, and 3) serially mediated by mathematical interest and perseverance. Implications of the results are discussed.
