Motivation and Ability as Factors in Mathematics Experience and Achievement.

Schiefele, Ulrich; Csikszentmihalyi, Mihaly

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v26 n2 p163-81 Mar 1995

Investigated relationships among interest, motivation, mathematical ability, quality of experience, and mathematics achievement among (n=108) high school freshmen and sophomores. Found that quality of experience was mainly related to interest in mathematics and not to ability. Achievement was most strongly related to ability. (45 references) (Author/DPM)
