Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between classroom management style of
teachers and mathematics motivation and achievement in fifth grade elementary
students. For this purpose, all teachers of fifth grade elementary (51 teachers) and
621 fifth grade elementary students randomly selected in Islamabad-e-Gharb city.
The teachers were filled out the Attitude and Beliefs on Classroom Management
Control Inventory and the students filled out the Mathematic Motivation Subscale
of Elementary School Motivation Scale. Students' math scores in the first term
were used to assess the mathematical achievement. Method of the research was
correlation. Results indicated that there is meaningful correlation between
interactionist classroom management style of teachers and mathematic motivation
(r=0.322) and between interactionist (r=0.106) and interventionist (r=0.103)
classroom management styles of teachers with mathematic achievement.
According to the results was regression, the strongest variable for predicting the
mathematic motivation is interactionist classroom management style of teachers
and the strongest variables for predicting the mathematic achievement of students
are interactionist and interventionist classroom management styles of teachers
(p<0.05). Attention to interactionist classroom management style can play an
important role in improving the mathematic motivation and achievement in fifth
grade elementary students.
