Abstract
The purpose of our research is to develop scales for teachers' and students' affect to
mathematics in arithmetic education and to find out relationships between teacher's and student's affect to
mathematics.To develop scales for assessing teachers' and students' affect to mathematics, we carried out
two examinations which were intended for 137 teachers and 332 6th grade students in elementary schools.
According to results of the exploratory factor analysis for two tests, values of Cronbach's α coefficients of
reliability were good in the loaded factors . Moreover, Goodness of Fit Index(GFI), Adjusted Goodness
of Fit Index(AGFI), and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation(RMSEA) were good in validity of
items of factors loaded by confirmatory factor analysis. Therefore we could develop scales for assessing
teachers' and students' affect to mathematics through analyses and inqiries of results of two tests. We also
clarified relationships between teachers' and students' affect to mathematics by comparing the more
common ones of items of teachers' and students' affect to mathematics.
