Abstract

This paper reports on the development and validation process of a new measure—the College Mathematics Beliefs and Belonging (CMBB) survey. The CMBB provides a contemporary measurement of undergraduate students’ perceptions of their mathematical practices and reasoning, beliefs about mathematics, and sense of belonging in mathematics. Primarily first- and second-year undergraduate students in five mathematics courses at a large public university in the United States completed multiple surveys to provide the data used for survey development. Confirmatory factor analysis (N = 935) along with additional psychometric evidence detailed here indicate that the CMBB is a survey with fifteen factors that adequately measure various aspects of perceived mathematical practices and reasoning, beliefs, and sense of belonging. The CMBB survey is intended for use by researchers and instructors to assess undergraduate students’ perceptions across these three domains with the aim of improving students’ experiences in college mathematics courses.

大学数学信念和归属感调查：工具开发与验证

本文报告了一项新测量--大学数学信念与归属感（CMBB）调查--的开发和验证过程。CMBB 对本科生的数学实践和推理、数学信念以及数学归属感进行了当代测量。美国一所大型公立大学五门数学课程的一、二年级本科生完成了多项调查，为调查的开发提供了数据。确认性因子分析（N = 935）以及本文详述的其他心理测量学证据表明，CMBB 是一项包含 15 个因子的调查，能够充分测量数学实践与推理感知、信念和归属感的各个方面。CMBB 调查旨在供研究人员和教师使用，以评估本科生对这三个领域的看法，从而改善学生在大学数学课程中的体验。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
