Social Variables in Learning Mathematics

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate what social variables affect students' mathematics learning in the context of student and teacher perspectives. This research using qualitative research has been carried out with the phenomenological pattern model. The research was carried out in 2016-2017 educational year with mathematics teachers working in Kahramanmaras and students attending secondary education. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researchers. Both descriptive analysis and content analysis were used in the analysis of the data and the findings were tabled and interpreted in the form of opinions of teachers and students. While the students stated that the social variables affecting mathematics education are the friends, family, and other branch teachers according to the order of frequency, while the social variables affecting mathematics education are the family, other branch teachers and friends for the teachers. In the process of learning mathematics in the research family; such as providing morale / motivation support, helping to study, requirement student material, showing interest and following up. Again in the mathematics learning friends; motivation, facilitation, facilitating learning, creating a competitive environment, as well as negative effects such as disruption of study, irrelevance of classes and prejudice. Based on the findings of the research, the results were weighed and some suggestions were made.
