This study was to investigate the relation between math learning behavior
of primary students and their anxiety, attitudes toward computers. To reach
the purpose above, this study adopts both methods of documentary analysis and
questionnaire survey, sampling 1776 students from 27 primary schools in areas
of Kaohsiung city and Taiwan province. This study uses "Questionnaire of
student''''''''s Learning Experience" which consists of seven subscales, including
Computer Anxiety Scale, Computer Attitudes Scale, Math Anxiety Scale, Math
Attitudes Scale, Math Achievements Attribution Belief Scale, Math -Involved
Motivation Scale and Tests on Math Achieveme nts. t-test , ANOVA, strength of
association, product-moment correlation, regression analysis, discriminant
analysis and linear structure model are employed to implement data analysis
and verification hypothesis. Major findings and conclusions of this study are
described as following: (1).For the moment pupils'''''''' anxiety to computers is not
high, but their confidence in attitudes to computer learning needs
reinforcing. (2).Variables in "family structure" and "family environments"
prominently affect pupils'''''''' anxiety and attitudes to computers. (3).Pupils'''''''' sex
and English experience have a remarkable influence on both pupils'''''''' anxiety and
attitudes toward computers; yet computer instructors'''''''' expertise and hardware
facilities in schools do not have a distinguished influence on pupils'''''''' anxiety
and attitudes toward computers. (4).Pupils who differ in anxiety to math,
attitudes to math, attribution belief in math, math-involved motivations and
math achievements differ in their anxiety and attitudes toward computers.
(5).By means of predictive analysis, attitudes in math and individual
variables have better predictive force out of the six main variables,
individual variables, anxiety to math, attitudes to math, math attribution
belief, math-involved motivations and math achievements. (6).Variables in
anxiety and attitudes to math, math attribution belief, math-involved
motivations and math achievements can effectly discriminate the pupils of
high/low anxiety and attitudes to computers, hits rate about 65% ∼ 70%.
(7).Path analysis on math learning behavior, and anxiety and attitudes to
computers need further correction, test and verification. (8).Those who agree
more on close relationship between computer learning and math abilities have
positive math learning behavior, lower anxiety to computers and more active
attitudes to computers; besides pupils have trouble in learning computers
because "they do not have computers at home." Lastly, according to the results
and findings above, nine concrete suggestions are proposed to be references
for developing further information education, and also for people who are
interested in this subject.
