Abstract

We study on the mathematical disposition of mathematically gifted students in the middle school of Korea. For this purpose, we use a tool which is a psychological test about disposition of mathematics disliking. The tool was developed by Kim et al. (2001: Studies on Exploring Mathematics Disliking Factors and Devising Tools to Analyze Students' Disliking Trends about School Mathematics. J. Korea Soc. Math. Ed. Ser. A Mathematical Education. 40(2), 217-239) to analyze the mathematical disposition of underachievers and we investigate the characteristic of it.
