Abstract
The present research seeks to address the existing problem of university students who manifest different attitudes towards mathematics and the effect this has on their level of academic performance. The objective of the study is to analyze the relationship between students’ mathematical performance and their attitudes towards mathematics. Methodologically, a quantitative research design of correlational and cross-sectional approach was used; in addition, two instruments were applied: one to evaluate academic performance through a non-standardized test, and another to measure attitudes towards mathematics; to a sample of 339 students at the School of Administrative Sciences, Business Management, and Informatics at the State University of Bolivar. The results obtained indicated that the attitudinal factors of motivation, liking and anxiety are directly related to their level of academic performance.
