This study investigates 628 high school students' math dislike tendencies by their math achievement levels. The findings show that, firstly, as the sample students' math achievement level decreases, the number of dislike factors increase. Secondly, students' math dislike factors are differentiated by their math achievement levels. Math high achievers show high math disliking tendency by teacher factor. Middle achievers show high math disliking tendency by complex application and relation factors. Low achievers show high math disliking tendency by comprehension factor. Finally the math disliking factors affecting the level of math achievement are influenced by schools and grades that students' attend. While math disliking factors such as comprehension factor, teacher factor, affection factor are generally present among sample schools, exceptionally JS high school students(high achieving students) are only affected by mentality factor. In addition, mentality factor affects the second grade students only. The implications of the study argue that students' math disliking tendencies could be systematically reduced by paying attention to such dependent variables students' achievement levels, grade, school characteristics, and independent variables including teacher, application, mentality, comprehension, and affection.

To lessen the ratio of under achievers is one of the most urgent task which recent school mathematics education is confronted with. To cope with this problem efficiently, math. teachers should know more specifically and concretely the causes that make the students dislike mathematics. But actually, there are too many reasons for these situations. So, in this paper, we tried to devise a tool to analyze and measure each student's math. disliking status. We proceeded this research via the following procedures. 1. Grasping the causes which make the students dislike mathematics as specifically as possible. To obtain this, we asked more than 300 of secondary school students to write down their thoughts about school mathematics. 2. Analyzing the responses, we abstracted 74 numbers of items which were supposed to be the causes for secondary school students'mathematics disliking. 3. With these items we made a test to measure students'aptitude for each item. 4. With this test paper, we tested over 800 of secondary school students. Through factor analysis and theoretical argument, we categorized the 74 items into 11 groups whose names were defined as factors of mathematics disliking. 5. For each of these 11 factors, we developed a norm which could serve as standard of comparison in measuring each student's mathematics disliking status. Using this tool teachers were able to describe each student's traits of mathematics disliking more specifically.

우리 학생들의 수학에 대한 자신감이나 호감과 같은 정의적 요인에 대한 긍정적인 태도 정도는 국제적인 비교를 통해서 드러난 바와 같이 매우 낮은 실정이다. 그런데 학생들의 수학에 대한 정의적 태도는 그들이 왜 수학을 기피하는가 하는 이유와 밀접하게 관련되어 있다. 따라서 학생들이 수학을 싫어하는 이유를 정확히 파악 할 수 있다면 문제의 해결을 위한 효율적인 전략을 마련하는 것이 훨씬 수월할 것이다. 이 연구에서는 학생들이 수학을 싫어하는 이유에 대해서 요인분석을 통하여 수학 기피유형을 설정하고 개별 학생들의 수학 기피유형을 판정하기 위한 검사 도구인 '수학 기피유형 검사지'를 제작하였다. 그리고 수학 성취수준과 이들 수학 기피유형사이의 상관계수를 조사 분석함으로써 이 도구의 활용법과 함께 수학 성취수준별, 성별 차이에 따른 학생들의 수학 기피경향에 관한 특성을 분석하였다.
