Improving students’ perspective psychology in learning outcomes through adversity quotient and independent learning
Ulfiani Rahman, Nurul Hikmah, IdhamBACKGROUND:
Many students exhibit a psychological aversion to mathematics, often perceiving it as more challenging than other subjects, leading to lower learning outcomes. This study investigates the effects of the adversity quotient and independent learning on students’ mathematics achievement.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The type of research used in this study is quantitative with the causality method. Employing descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses, the study utilized the Adversity Response Profile (ARP) and a learning independence scale.
RESULTS:
The regression analysis indicated a positive and significant relationship between adversity quotient (AQ) and mathematics learning outcomes (
CONCLUSION:
The analysis revealed that AQ, independent learning, and outcomes were generally in the medium category; AQ positively influenced learning outcomes; independent learning had a significant positive effect; and both factors together significantly impacted learning outcomes.
