Abstract

This research aims to analyze the attitudes towards mathematics shown by university students, comparing the results by gender, by degree and by course. For this, the instrument used has been the scale on attitudes towards mathematics by Auzmendi (1992), for which we have proposed an improvement in its organization by components and in the measurement mode. The methodology followed in the study has been quantitative, not experimental, transversal and descriptive. It has been carried out with a total sample of 1293 students of different degrees (Degree in Food and Agricultural Engineering, Degree in Biology, Degree in Food Science and Technology, Degree in Childhood Education, Degree in Computer Engineering, Degree in Primary Education and Degree in Tourism), of which 830 are women and 453 men. Finally, a descriptive statistical analysis of the data collected was carried out, using the SPSS computer statistical program, after which the conclusions with which this thesis report ends.
