Abstract
The present study investigated the relationship between attitude towards mathematics and achievement in mathematics among higher secondary students. The objectives of the study were 1) to find out the level of attitude towards mathematics among higher secondary students. 2) to find out the level of achievement in mathematics among higher secondary students. 3) to find out the relationship between attitude towards mathematics and achievement in mathematics among higher secondary students. The investigator used the normative survey method. The samples of the study were 300 higher secondary students of Kanyakumari District. The tools used for the study were the attitude towards mathematics scale (developed by Monith and Sreeletha, 2024) and academic achievement marks in mathematics. The statistical techniques employed were percentage analysis and Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis. The major findings of the study revealed that 1) the level of attitude towards mathematics among higher secondary students was at a moderate level. 2) the level of achievement in mathematics among higher secondary students was at a moderate level. 3) the relationship between attitude towards mathematics and achievement in mathematics among higher secondary students showed a negligible correlation.
