Abstract

Paying Attention To The Role Of Psychological Variables In Students' Mathematical Performance Has Important Consequences On Their Academic Achievement In Mathematics. Therefore, The Present Study Was Conducted To Investigate The Performance Of Philosophical Mentality, Creativity, Mathematical Self-Efficacy, Mathematical Self-Concept And Mathematical Progress Of Students. Because The Studied Variables Are Essentially Inaccurate, The Resulting Observations Are Also Reported Inaccurately, And Therefore Fuzzy Statistical Methods Are Used In Data Analysis. The Statistical Population Was the Third Year Male Students of Marand Experimental Field, Among Whom 103 Students Answered Four Questionnaires (Philosophical Mentality, Mathematical Self-Efficacy, Creativity and Mathematical Self-Concept). They Also Took A Math Test. Fuzzy Tests Were Used Based On Fuzzy Confidence Intervals To Investigate The Research Question. The Test Results Showed That Students' Mathematical Self-Efficacy And Creativity Are Moderate To High (Desirable), And Students' Philosophical Mentality And Performance Are Moderate To High (Undesirable) And Students' Mathematical Self-Concept Is Moderate. The Proposed Method Is General and Can Be Generalized To Any Degree and Field Of Study. These Findings Can Be Used In The Field Of Planning For Students' Progress In Mathematics.
