Discipline: Education

Abstract:

This study aimed to identify the factors of the distance learning educational atmosphere that influence the attitude towards mathematics teaching-learning processes of the students in the Schools Division of City of Malolos for the school year 2020-2021. It used a quantitative approach, specifically a causal research design through a two-stage analysis in investigating the influence of distance learning educational atmosphere on the attitude towards mathematics teaching-learning processes. The results showed that the distance learning educational atmosphere had a positive influence on self-esteem and attitude toward mathematics teaching-learning processes. Furthermore, self-esteem was found to mediate the relationship between distance learning educational atmosphere and attitude towards mathematics teaching-learning processes. The study also revealed that ethics and professionalism is the most important factor in teacher presentation of content, program effectiveness for interest towards mathematics, and teaching quality as the potent value of mathematics. Finally, this study suggests that adequate resources and support may be provided to mathematics teachers in a distance learning educational atmosphere to improve the attitude of the students toward mathematics teaching-learning processes.
