Factors influencing how popular mathematics is among primary pupils
 Karhanová, Jitka ; Vondrová, Naďa (advisor) ; Novotná, Jarmila (referee)
This thesis focuses on the popularity of mathematics among pupils of a lower secondary school and factors affecting it. Specifically, pupils' self-concept in mathematics and pupils' initial feelings towards mathematics, the importance of mathematics for their future, the personality of mathematics teachers and his/her teaching skills, class climate and pupils' parents' feelings towards mathematics. The theoretical part deals with the processing and interpretation of the various factors that may affect the popularity of mathematics for pupils, as given in literature. Research results of this area on both international and national scales are presented. The practical part is devoted to my research conducted on factors influencing the popularity of mathematics. The research was carried out via a quantitative questionnaire method. The pilot study served to verify the suitability of designed questionnaires. The results of the main study are carefully discussed (given an opportunistic sample of pupils) in terms of my hypotheses and compared to the results of the international research by the OECD/PISA 2003. Among the factors that influence the popularity of mathematics among pupils most is the influence of teachers' approach and of parents and a pupil's self-concept.
