Abstract

Having positive atitude on a difficult subject was a tough basic on having a good academic
achievement. Although this was really a classic issue, however, this research was interesting.
This research was conducted in a rural areas. Hypothetically, students would have good
mathematic achievement when they had posititve attitude on that subject. Forty two village
elementary students, grade fourth and fifth, participated in this research. Students’ attitude
data were collected through the attitude scale and the range of validity value was .318-.670.
The students’ achievement in math was collected through their report cards. This research
revealed that there was no correlation between students’ attitude on math and their math
achievement, rho = .037, p = .818. Reason of this research finding might be from students’
life style. They were student villagers, and villagers usually were reluctant to express their real
attitude. They might be unhappy with the teacher’s method in teaching math, however, they
were reluctant to deal with the teacher. Other reasons were also discussed.
Keywords: Mathematic, attitude, achievement.
