RESUMO

Abstract This article presents the results of a study with students from the Salvador Allende High School of the Autonomous University of Queretaro, Mexico. The goal of the research was to identify and characterize the attitudes of students towards the differential and integral Calculus. We used as theoretical reference the Theory of Attitudes (Mann, 1981). The methodology applied was mixed and a Likert questionnaire –alpha 0.807– was applied as data collection instrument to 149 students and a semi-structured interview to 28 students. The findings show a high degree of student rejection towards the subject of Calculus, and the predominant manifestation of negative feelings to: the teaching methodology, the written exam as the predominant form of assessment, the learning activities, the teacher's attitude in the classroom, among other aspects inherent to the educational process. The analysis of the data obtained can help in the understanding of learning and teaching difficulties, as well as the implications of the negative attitude towards this discipline for achieving curriculum goals.
