In this communication we analyze a dichotomy that pervades research on attitude in mathematics education: the classification of attitude as positive / negative. After highlighting the ambiguity of the term ‘positive’, and some problems related to it, we suggest that the positive / negative dichotomy is too simplistic to take into account the deep interaction between affect and cognition that characterises mathematics learning.

Abstract: | In this communication we analyze a dichotomy that pervades research on attitude in mathematics education: the classification of attitude as positive / negative. After highlighting the ambiguity of the term ‘positive’, and some problems related to it, we suggest that the positive / negative dichotomy is too simplistic to take into account the deep interaction between affect and cognition that characterises mathematics learning. |
