Attitudes towards mathematics in public administration students

Abstract

Mathematics teaching remains a persistent area of study, with attitudes toward the subject playing a critical role in shaping didactic decisions, particularly in non-mathematical contexts. The objective of this work is to establish the emerging attitudes towards mathematics of public administration students at a Higher Education Institution in Colombia. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design with a single group. The instrument used to assess attitudes was the “Attitudes towards Mathematics and Mathematics Taught with a Computer” scale.
