Strengthening School Connectedness to Increase Student Success
Category: Student Well-Being
Instrument Overview
The College Mathematics Beliefs and Belonging Survey (CMBB) is a student survey designed to understand how undergraduate students experience mathematics in their early college years. It asks about students’ views of their own mathematical thinking, their beliefs about what mathematics is and how it should be learned, and their sense of belonging in college math courses. The survey was developed using data from first- and second-year students enrolled in several mathematics classes at a large public university.
The CMBB includes fifteen factors that capture different aspects of students’ perceptions across three main areas: mathematical practices and reasoning, beliefs about mathematics, and belonging. It can be used by instructors and researchers to identify how students feel about their learning environment and where additional support may be needed. The goal of the CMBB is to help improve students’ experiences in college mathematics and strengthen their connection to the discipline.
