Another purpose was to investigate teachers' perceptions of their students' attitudes toward math as a subject and toward their math teachers. The three instruments used are questionnaires distributed to students, interviews conducted with teachers and observations of classroom climate. The results showed that there is a strong and significant positive correlation between students' attitudes toward math as a subject and students' attitudes toward their math teachers. The study also revealed that there are no significant gender differences in either the students' attitudes toward math as a subject or toward their math teachers. Moreover, interviews with teachers showed that they perceived their students as having generally positive attitudes toward math as a subject and toward them as math teachers. Larger samples that include participants from all grade levels and from diverse schools are needed for generalizing the results on the national level UR - http://search.shamaa.org/FullRecord?ID=65979 ER -
