Živkovic, Marija; Pellizzoni, Sandra; Doz, Eleonora; Cuder, Alessandro; Mammarella, Irene; Passolunghi, Maria Chiara – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2023
Various studies have highlighted the important influence of math ability in a numerate society. In this study, we investigated the influence of emotional (math anxiety and math enjoyment) and cognitive-motivational (math self-efficacy) factors on math performance. Participants were 145 fifth-grade students (84 boys and 61 girls). The results…

Background: Research has shown that mathematics anxiety negatively correlates with primary school mathematics performance, including fraction knowledge. However, recently no significant correlation was found between fraction arithmetic performance and state anxiety measured after the fraction task. One possible explanation is the natural number…

Daniel Doz – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
Although the impact of non-cognitive factors, such as math anxiety, math test-taking anxiety, and attitudes toward mathematics, has been extensively studied, this area remains partially unexplored in the realm of national assessments. This research focuses on the analysis of the validity and reliability of an 11-item questionnaire introduced by…

Triinu Kilp-Kabel; Kaja Mädamürk – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between math anxiety and math achievement, highlighting differences in motivation based on age, and the mediating effects of task persistence as well as aspects of the expectancy-value theory. The students in the study (grade five N = 335, grade eight N = 251) were from Estonian…

Jonatan Finell; Hanna Eklöf; Johan Korhonen; Bert Jonsson – Discover Education, 2024
The current study assessed reliability and validity evidence of the shortened Swedish Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale--Elementary (MARS-E), using data from three time points. After initial pilot tests, a total of 429 students participated in the study, completing the MARS-E twice during grade 4 and once during grade 5. Confirmatory factor…

This study extends prior research by manipulating both intervention and skill difficulty using a multiple baseline across participants design with changing phases in a virtual tutoring environment. Participants were four U.S. students from third and fifth grades for whom appropriate and challenging instructional targets were selected following…

Almaz Mesghina; Elayne Vollman; Kelly Trezise; Lindsey Engle Richland – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
We investigated whether worked examples could be used to reduce cognitive load on mathematics learners who may have reduced available cognitive resources due to experiencing anxiety or excess stress. Across 2 days, 280 fifth-grade students learned from a difficult lesson on ratio, half of whom reviewed worked examples at key problem-solving…

Halme, Hilma; Trezise, Kelly; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M.; McMullen, Jake – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
Mathematics anxiety hinders students' mathematical achievement already in primary school, but research on its effects beyond whole number knowledge is limited. The main aim of the current study is to examine how state and trait mathematics anxiety relate to performance across five tasks that are relevant for the development of mathematics in…

Triinu Kilp-Kabel; Kaja Mädamürk – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Understanding math and the ability to use math in various situations can greatly contribute to a successful life. Different math skills are of importance for understanding and supporting math ability. In addition, math interest may influence math ability. We investigated the relationship between math conceptual and procedural skills, their…

Kiss, Allyson J.; Vukovic, Rose – Psychology in the Schools, 2021
Little is known about how math anxiety in parents may relate to engagement in their children's education (i.e., parent involvement, parent educational expectations) or children's math outcomes (i.e., child math achievement and child math anxiety). The current exploratory study examined these relations between parents and their fifth grade…

Hilz, Anna; Guill, Karin; Roloff, Janina; Aldrup, Karen; Köller, Olaf – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Although research on mathematics learning programs has taken off in recent years, little is known about how different person characteristics are related to practice behaviour with such programs. When implementing a mathematics learning program in the classroom, it might be important to know whether students with specific…

The present study tested the learning avoidance model by examining the degree to which learning avoidance in various afterschool settings mediated the negative association between math anxiety and math achievement. Participants consisted of 207 third to sixth graders. Using a path model, findings showed that students' math anxiety was negatively…

Background: Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has the potential to provide a gender inclusive learning environment for children. Objective: The present study aimed to explore gendered differences among primary school learners in grades three, four, and five within the context of game-based fraction learning from cognitive, motivational and…

Arslan, Çigdem – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between test anxiety and math anxiety and determining whether some of the variables have differences in test anxiety and mathematics anxiety scores of 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. The study was conducted with 337 students in two middle school selected by random sampling method in…

Previous research examined the influence of math anxiety (MA) on performance in mathematics, but few studies compared the contribution of MA to other forms of anxiety, such as test and general anxiety (GA). Unlike MA, ego-resiliency promotes the management of challenges, and has been positively associated with mathematics performance. In this…
