Abstract

Today teaching is one of the most stressful professions globally with potentially harmful effects on teachers’ well-being. This is further exacerbated by the negative attitude of leaner’s towards certain subjects. Some of the prominent behaviours of these leaner’s include but not limited to dislike, fear, anxiety and even hatred (Neale) [1]. Mathematicseducatorsare not an exception given the age “cohort/progressed leaners†in South Africa. We conducted a case study research on the attitude and disposition of commerce-mathematics/commerce stream learners towards mathematics in one of the Free State High schools in South Africa, to determine whether they had negative or positive attitude towards mathematics.
