THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

This chapter examines Australasian research in the affective domain. While this domain during this review period has continued to be dominated by a focus on beliefs, there is more research emerging in the areas of self-concept, identity, motivation, and engagement. There remains however a lack of theorising in aspects of the domain. Methodologically, while there has been an increase in mixed methods studies, there has been little change since the last review. With some exceptions, only a limited range of methodological instruments has been used. Data is still primarily self-reported rather than observational and this issue remains an aspect to be addressed in future research
