摘要:THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN IN MATHEMATICS PROBLEM SOLVING: A HIERARCHY OF DESCRIPTORSAt present the relevance of the affective domain in the learning and personal development and, specifically, in mathematics and mathematics problem solving (MPS) is observed. However, as Gómez- Chacón ( 2000) suggests, a persistent problem in the understanding of affect in the teaching and learning of mathematics has been to find a clear definition of what is affection or the affective domain. That is why the aim of this paper is to provide a clear definition of the affective domain in mathematics and MPS as well as identify and rank the descriptors or dimensions that comprise this construct: attitudes (mathematics and toward mathematics) , emotions (emphasis in anxiety as the most influential in the MPS) and beliefs ( about the nature and the teaching and learning of mathematics and MPS, about the social context and about self as problem solver. As a innovative aspect, further elucidate the discussion between consider the anxiety as an emotion or attitude, we include generalized control expectations (contingency, helplessness, belief in luck, self-efficacy and success) in beliefs about oneself as a mathematic learner and mathematics problems solver..
