The Relation between Individual and Group Achievement Levels and Students'Math Enjoyment:Empirical Analysis of TIMSS 2019
Enjoyment,as the most common positive emotion experienced by students,is of great importance to students'learning and outcomes.This study used the TIMSS 2019 international survey database and selected the data of eighth graders from 11 countries and regions to explore the relation between individual-and group-level math achievement and enjoyment.The results showed that individual-level achievement was positively correlated with math enjoyment,while group-level achievement was negatively correlated with enjoyment except Finland.Individual performance moderated the relationship between class academic level and enjoyment,but it was not applicable to Hong Kong,Japan and South Korea.The moderating effect of gender on class academic level and pleasure was only found in the samples of Taiwan and Finland,and showed opposite results.Implications:more attention needs to be paid to the role of students'non-cognitive factors in the learning process and outcome;some teachers teaching in key classes need to pay more attention to the differences in non-cognitive performance of students with the same ability level in environmental differences;schools can construct a teacher evaluation system including students'non-cognitive ability development indicators to improve teachers'ability to educate people;teachers need to give more academic encouragement and emotional support to girls.
