Abstract

This paper investigates changes in 15-year-old Australian students’ attitudes towards reading mathematics, and science, as well as their relationships with students’ performance in these respective domains over the period of 2000–2018. multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the measurement invariance of the construct of attitudes over the cycles of the Programme for International Student Achievement. In addition, structural equation modelling was used to explore mediating effects of attitudes on performance in the three domains. The results indicated that there were significant declines in student performance for all three domains. The levels of enjoyment of the subject domains were relatively low for reading and mathematics but relatively high for science. There were upward trends in the levels of enjoyment of mathematics and science over time, while levels of enjoyment of reading did not change significantly. Levels of instrumental motivation were relatively high and had slight upward trends for both mathematics and science. There were positive and significant relationships between attitudes and student performances.

15岁的澳大利亚学生对阅读、数学和科学的态度变化及其对学生表现的影响
本文调查了2000-2018年期间15岁澳大利亚学生对阅读数学和科学的态度的变化,以及它们与学生在这些各自领域的表现的关系。使用多组验证性因子分析来检查态度结构在国际学生成就计划周期中的测量不变性。此外,采用结构方程模型探讨了态度对三个领域绩效的中介作用。结果表明,学生在这三个领域的表现都有显著下降。学生对学科领域的喜爱程度在阅读和数学方面相对较低,而在科学方面相对较高。随着时间的推移,学生对数学和科学的喜爱程度呈上升趋势,而对阅读的喜爱程度没有明显变化。工具动机的水平相对较高,在数学和科学方面都有轻微的上升趋势。态度与学生成绩之间存在显著正相关。

期刊介绍: The Australian Journal of Education was established in 1957 under the editorship of Professor Bill Connell. Drawing upon research conducted in Australia and internationally, the AJE aims to inform educational researchers as well as educators, administrators and policymakers about issues of contemporary concern in education. The AJE seeks to publish research studies that contribute to educational knowledge and research methodologies, and that review findings of research studies. Its scope embraces all fields of education and training. In addition to publishing research studies about education it also publishes articles that address education in relation to other fields.
