Based on the broaden-and-build theory developed by Fredrickson and the theory of achievement emotions proposed by Pekrun, the present study attempted to construct a structural equation model of a causal relationship among junior high students’ mathematics achievement emotions, mathematics learning strategies, and mathematics academic achievement. The participants were 310 eighth-graders from seven junior high schools in the northern Taoyuan County. The result showed that there is a significantly negative effect of mathematic achievement emotions on mathematic academic performance, but there is a significantly positive and direct effect of mathematic achievement emotions on mathematics learning strategies. The result also revealed that with mathematics learning strategies functioning as a mediator variable, mathematics academic emotions significantly and positively affect academic achievement in mathematics. Implications for theory, instructional intervention and future research were discussed in the end. |
