We aimed to examine high school students' level of mathematics anxiety and use of self-regulatory learning strategies as a function of different variables and to examine the correlation between these variables. The sample consisted of 330 students at 11th and 12th grades from three different high schools in the west of Turkey. We used the Revised…

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)…

The study is based on the theory of teachers' knowledge of students, specifically those who have difficulties learning mathematics, and how their knowledge is expressed concerning students' self-identification. The participants in this study were Namibian high school mathematics teachers (N=6) and their 12th-grade students (N=23), all of whom…

In this study, the aim is to examine the impact of Dialogic Teaching on students' academic success and anxiety regarding mathematics subjects of limit and continuity, which are in the scope of 12th grade mathematics curriculum, within the sub learning domain of continuity. During the research, both qualitative and quantitative methods were…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the interplays among the critical thinking disposition, cognitive flexibility, math anxiety and math achievement with structural equation modeling and determine the degree of the mediating effect of math anxiety in primary, middle and high schools. Within the scope, we also focused on the predicting…

Past studies have shown that distinct yet highly correlated sub-constructs of three broad mathematics affective variables: (a) motivation, (b) attitudes and (c) anxiety, have varying degree of correlation with mathematics achievement. The sub-constructs of these three affective constructs are as follows: (a) (i) amotivation, (ii) external…

Test-taking skills are cognitive skills that enable students to undergo any test-taking situation in an appropriate manner. This study is aimed at assessing the relationship between students' test-taking skills and each of the following variables: motivation to learn mathematics; mathematics anxiety; attitudes towards mathematics; and attitudes…

Using data from the Longitudinal Study of American Youth (LSAY), we aimed to determine the causal ordering between mathematics anxiety and mathematics achievement. Results of structural equation modelling showed that, across the entire junior and senior high school, prior low mathematics achievement significantly related to later high mathematics…
