Relationship between students' attitude towards, and performance in mathematics word problems.

ABSTRACT: The study explored the relationship between students' attitude towards, and performance in mathematics word problems (MWTs), mediated by the active learning heuristic problem solving (ALHPS) approach. Specifically, this study investigated the correlation between students' performance and their attitude towards linear programming word tasks (ATLPWTs). Tools for data collection were: the adapted Attitude towards Mathematics Inventory-Short Form (ATMI-SF), (α = .75) as a multidimensional measurement tool, and linear programming achievement tests (pre-test and post-test). A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test non-equivalent control group study design was adopted. A sample of 608 eleventh-grade Ugandan students (291 male and 317 female) from eight secondary schoo
