Attitude towards mathematics: The results of this
study also indicate that the cooperative learning
approach increase attitude towards mathematics. This is
probably because when students work in group they
feel that they can depend on others for help and
therefore increase their confidence in solving
mathematics problem. This may indirectly change their
attitudes towards mathematics. Cooperative learning
also emphasizes social interaction and relationships
among groups of students in particular and among
classmates in general. Cooperative learning actively
involves students in the learning process. These
findings are consistent with the findings of some
previous researchers such as Ifamuyiwa and Akinsola
(2008) and Brush (1997).
