Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 23, Issue 7
Abstract
This study, conducted at Laubach Institute during the S.Y. 2023-2024, aimed to determine the mindset towards mathematics and behavioral engagement among junior high school students. The respondents were 141 students, and the study used a descriptive-correlational research design with survey questionnaires and open-ended interview questions. The data were analyzed using means, standard deviation, and Pearson r correlation at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that Grade 9 students had the highest mean value of 2.47 for a fixed mindset, rated as "disagree," while Grade 7 had the lowest mean value of 2.28, also rated as "disagree." The overall mean for a fixed mindset was 2.40. For the growth mindset, Grade 8 students had the highest mean value of 3.14, rated as "agree," and Grade 9 had the lowest mean value of 2.96, also rated as "agree." The overall mean for a growth mindset was 3.07. In terms of behavioral engagement, Grade 7 had the highest mean value of 3.41 for attendance, rated as "sometimes," while Grade 9 had the lowest mean value of 3.00. For attention, Grade 7 again had the highest mean value of 3.04, while Grade 9 had the lowest mean value of 2.91. For participation, Grade 10 had the highest mean value of 2.81, while Grade 7 had the lowest mean value of 2.69. For compliance, Grade 8 had the highest mean value of 2.93, while Grade 10 had the lowest mean value of 2.75. The study found a significant correlation between the growth mindset and behavioral engagement in terms of participation and compliance for Grade 7 students. Specifically, Grade 7 had an r-value of 0.351 for participation, interpreted as "Low Positive," and a p-value of 0.00, indicating significance. For compliance, Grade 7 had an r-value of 0.566, interpreted as "Moderately Positive," and a p-value of 0.00, also indicating significance. Grades 8, 9, and 10 had p-values greater than 0.05 for both participation and compliance, indicating no significant correlation. This suggests that younger students' growth mindsets are positively influenced by all domains of behavioral engagement.
