Abstract:
Beliefs and values in learning mathematics refer to individuals' attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives about Mathematics and its learning. These can influence how they approach mathematical tasks, perceive their ability in Mathematics, and remark on the value of Mathematics in their lives. Thus, this undertaking provides insights into the beliefs and values of the students in learning Mathematics and if these are predictors of their Mathematics performance. The randomly selected senior high school students were quantitatively surveyed. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, Pearson r, and regression analysis to prove the assumptions. The findings revealed that students placed a very high belief in the importance of Mathematics. Also, set a high value on collaboration and cooperation. They emphasized the importance of understanding key concepts, being open to new ideas and approaches when learning, and working with precision on mathematical concepts. Furthermore, female students have a higher belief in the nature and importance of Mathematics. They also have more positive social and personal values. In addition, it is determined that STEM students provide a higher social value than TVL students. Finally, the assumptions are proven that the beliefs and values of the students in learning Mathematics affect their academic achievement. Also, the relationship between beliefs and values in learning Mathematics is established. The implications and recommendations of the study were also discussed.
