Abstract

Based on the expectancy-value theory, the Mathematics Value Inventory (MVI) was intended to measure math value in four areas: interest, utility, achievement and personal cost. This paper presents the validation of the Spanish version among Uruguayan university students: factorial validity through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), gender related differences and predictive validity of academic achievement. A stratified random sampling according to Mathematics achievement was performed, with a confidence level of 95% and an error margin of 5%, and 218 students (77% women) voluntarily participated. Ages ranged from 18 to 29 years (M = 20.2, SD = 1.8). Results confirm the four-factor structure as well as suggest a second order factor. The latter is recommended for continuous assessment of general attitude towards math, while the four-factor model could be a better strategy to identify problematic areas and career comparison. Higher interest and need for achievement are related to greater academic performance, while utility and personal cost seem to have no impact on it. No gender differences on math value were found. In sum, the MVI proved to be a suitable instrument to measure students' attitudes towards mathematics, which may help the design of intervention strategies.

在乌拉圭大学生中验证西班牙语版本的数学价值清单(MVI)

基于期望值理论，数学价值量表(MVI)旨在从兴趣、效用、成就和个人成本四个方面衡量数学价值。本文介绍了乌拉圭大学生西班牙语版本的验证:通过验证性因子分析(CFA)的析因效度，性别相关差异和学业成绩的预测效度。根据数学成绩进行分层随机抽样，置信水平为95%，误差范围为5%，218名学生(77%为女性)自愿参加。年龄18 ~ 29岁(M = 20.2, SD = 1.8)。结果证实了四因子结构，并提出了二阶因子。后者被推荐用于持续评估对数学的一般态度，而四因素模型可能是一个更好的策略，以确定问题领域和职业比较。更高的兴趣和对成就的需求与更高的学习成绩有关，而效用和个人成本似乎对其没有影响。在数学价值上没有性别差异。综上所述，MVI被证明是一个合适的工具来衡量学生对数学的态度，这可能有助于设计干预策略。
