Abstract

This research has analyzed the attitudes towards mathematics of students of Basic and Secondary Education in Honduras. This is a quantitative research based on an Ex Post Facto design, where a scale of attitude towards mathematics was provided to 597 students. The main results show statistically significant differences between the demographic variables in relation to the perception factor of mathematical incompetence. In addition, when analyzing each of the factors, it has been found in a general way that students have a positive attitude towards mathematics in the factors perception of mathematical incompetence, perception of usefulness and mathematical self-concept, on the contrary, with the factor taste for mathematics in which a negative attitude has been observed in this regard. It is concluded that students from urban areas have better attitudes than students from rural areas, this is due to access to services and technological skills of urban students in times of COVI-19.
