      Tossavainen, Timo; Rensaa, Ragnhild Johanne; Haukkanen, Pentti; Mattila, Mika; Johansson, Monica (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-26)
      This study investigates Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish first-year engineering students’ task performance in mathematics and examines how it relates to their motivational values and beliefs about the nature of mathematics. In a set of seven mathematical tasks, female students outperformed male students, for example, in the simplification of symbolic expressions. Our findings also show that ...

    • Swedish first-year engineering students’ views of mathematics, self-efficacy and motivation and their effect on task performance 

      Tossavainen, Timo; Rensaa, Ragnhild Johanne; Johansson, Monica (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-29)
      We examine a group (N = 88) of Swedish first-year engineering students, their motivation, self-efficacy, and beliefs about the nature of mathematics, and how these relate to their task performance in mathematics. In our data, engineering students who emphasized the exact reasoning in their view of mathematics performed significantly better in a set of mathematical tasks than those who emphasized ...
