Kexin Qin; Yehui Wang – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
Homework is a self-regulated activity that constitutes a large proportion of learning time. In mathematics, how long is the optimal homework time for achievement development and how to improve homework time efficiency have long been questions. The study examined how mathematics homework time was related to mathematics achievement among Chinese…

Geary, David C.; Hoard, Mary K.; Nugent, Lara; Ünal, Zehra E.; Greene, Nathaniel R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
There are consistent correlations between mathematics achievement, attitudes, and anxiety, but the longitudinal relations among these constructs are not well understood nor are sex differences in these relations. To address this gap, mathematics achievement, attitudes, and anxiety were longitudinally assessed for 342 (169 boys) adolescents from…

Ahmed M. Megreya; Ahmed A. Al-Emadi; Aisha M. Al-Ahmadi; Ahmed A. Moustafa; Denes Szucs – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Math anxiety (MA) is a worldwide appearing academic anxiety that can affect student mental health and deter students from math and science-related career choices. Method: Using the Arabic version of the Modified-Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (m-AMAS), the prevalence of MA was investigated in a very large sample of students (N = 10093)…

Shimizu, Yuno – Journal of Education and Learning, 2022
Providing adequate proof is one essential mathematical method, but it is a difficult task for many school-age students. While previous studies have revealed the cognitive factors of proving the proof, the function of affective factors and learning engagement has been largely unexplored. This study examined the effects and processes associated with…

Weissgerber, Sophia C.; Grünberg, Chawwah; Neufeld, Luisa; Steppat, Tobias; Reinhard, Marc-André – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2022
Math anxiety's negative effects on performance are well-documented. The interplay of math anxiety and mathematical competence regarding later performance is underexplored. We investigated whether math anxiety's detrimental effects on learning depend on previous mathematical competence. Hypothesizing a moderation effect, we expected that trait math…

Marks, Taylor – BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, 2022
Life experiences can affect students' educational experiences as they continue through the middle years (grades 7-9). Children carry negative experiences, societal and family influences, and early educational experiences with them. All of these factors can contribute to student anxiety while learning mathematics. Anxiety in mathematics may present…

Hiller, Suzanne E.; Kitsantas, Anastasia; Cheema, Jehanzeb E.; Poulou, Maria – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Prior research has suggested that mathematics specific anxiety and self-efficacy are strong predictors of mathematics performance. The purpose of this study was to examine this relationship using two nationally representative samples of Greek students in 2003 and 2012. Findings indicated that both mathematics anxiety and mathematics self-efficacy…
