Abstract
We investigate mathematics capital and its relationship with mathematics teaching and learning experiences, mathematics mindset, mathematics self-efficacy, cultural capital, and subjective social status. Survey data were collected from 927 undergraduate students in Fall 2024. Mathematics capital was modeled as a latent factor in our model with acceptable fit indices via structural equation modeling. The results of our model show that mathematics teaching and learning experiences and mathematics self-efficacy account for most of the variability in mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics teaching and learning experiences. Moreover, cultural capital and mathematics mindset are positively related to mathematics teaching and learning experiences. Overall, mathematics capital has the most associations in our final model.
