Abstract:

On the basis of expectancy-value theory, multilevel structural equation models and trends in mathematics and science study 2011 data were applied to investigate the effects of the student-level variables (perception of teachers’ expectations, ability beliefs, utility values, and intrinsic values) and their respective class-level variables on math and science achievement, and to test the mediation effect of ability belief between students’ perception of teachers’ expectations and the math and science achievements of eighth-grade students in Taiwan. The study revealed the following results: (1) The student-level and class-level structures exhibited differences. (2) At the student level, students’ ability belief had the strongest effect on their math and science achievement; the class level of ability belief had a positive effect on math and science achievement. (3) Ability belief had a significant mediating effect between the perception of teachers’ expectations and math and science achievement. Finally, according to the results, some suggestions for practical applications and future research were introduced.

Keywords:expectancy-value theory, math and science achievement, multilevel structural equation model (MSEM), secondary data analysis, trends in mathematics and science study (TIMSS) 2011
