Abstract :
The purpose of study was to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic status and students' beliefs and values on the attitude toward mathematical education with emphasis on the role of the intermediate elements of school culture and the process of mathematical education. Methodological research is descriptive of correlation type. The statistical population includes 200 secondary boy of Ashkhaneh city. The sample was 132 according to the Coquran formula. The sampling method was stratified. Data collected with epistemological beliefs questionnaire Schommer (1990), Socio-Economic of Ghodrat Nama (2013), Alsnadro school culture and Sade (1997), Learning Process Questionnaire Tomlinson (2001), Pahlevan attitude to mathematical lessons (2007). The reliability was Face and Content and validity of the Socio-Economic 0.774, 0.704 beliefs and values of students, teaching process 0.701, 0.739 school culture and attitude towards mathematics is 0.778. Results showed there is a significant relationship between socioeconomic status and students 'beliefs and values on the attitude toward mathematical education, with emphasis on the intermediate role of school culture. Between socioeconomic status, students' beliefs and values, school culture, educational process with attitude to the lesson there is a significant relationship between mathematics and socioeconomic status with emphasis on the role of the intermediate elements of school culture and the process of teaching and attitudes toward mathematics in students and there is a significant relationship between students' beliefs and values with emphasis on the role of the intermediate elements of school culture and process teaching and attitudes to maths there is a significant relationship.
