This research uses a quantitative approach and a descriptive and transversal-comparative design to analyze students' attitudes toward mathematics throughout the primary education program at the Faculty of Education, Philosophy, and Anthropology in Gipuzkoa.For this purpose, the Auzmendi (1992) questionnaire was used.The total sample size is 348 and is divided into three groups: first-year students who had not taken a mathematics course, third-year students who had taken one mathematics course, and fourth-year students who had taken the two compulsory mathematics courses.The results of the descriptive and inferential analysis show that: 1) First-year students have a higher attitude toward mathematics than students in equivalent programs at other state universities.2) Fourth-year students have a significantly higher attitude toward mathematics than first-year students, indicating an improvement in attitude throughout the degree program.3) There are no significant differences in attitude based on gender, although men have a higher mean in all courses.
