Student Perception, Mathematical Problem Solving, and Learning Disabilities

Marjorie Montague, PhD, is a professor of special education at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. Her areas of research include cognitive strategy instruction for students with learning disabilities and effective classroom interventions for students with emotional and behavioral problems. Address: Marjorie Montague, School of Education, University of Miami, PO Box 248065, Coral Gables, FL 33124.

The purpose of this article is to discuss student perception of mathematical problem solving. Findings from five studies measuring attitude toward mathematics, perception of performance, perception of the importance of mathematical problem solving, and perception of problem difficulty are presented and discussed. Additionally, the interaction of affect and cognition and the implications of this interaction for assessing and teaching mathematical problem solving to students with learning disabilities are discussed.
