Attitudes , Mathematics, Active methodologies, InstrumentsAbstract
The objective of this study is to analyze the present-day state of attitudes towards learning mathematics and to identify new lines of research being developed. For this purpose, first articles were elected in the Scopus database for the years 1970-2024 using the search criteria “mathematics” and “attitudes.” 4160 articles were found and data mining in the R language was carried out to analyze the registries. The country leading in the number of publications is the United States and the University of California the institution with the most articles. The author with the most publications is Ma X. They study the relationship between attitudes, anxiety and academic performance. Bibliographic coupling reflets the lines of research focused on affective aspects and gender in the educational context. There were three emerging perspectives of this research. One focuses on the factors which influence preparation for academic and professional success. Another is related to active methodologies in mathematics. The last one centers on the measurement of attitudes.
