North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (45th, Reno, NV, Oct 1-4, 2023)
This study investigated the relationship between non-cognitive factors (mathematics anxiety, Emotional Intelligence, and mathematics self-concept) and mathematics performance in students with and without Mathematics Learning Disability (MLD). Participants were 340 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students from a public elementary school. Results showed that students with MLD had significantly lower mathematics performance compared to their peers. Mathematics anxiety was found to have a negative impact on mathematics performance among students without MLD. While low Emotional Intelligence scores were significant predictors of lower math performance for students with and without MLD. Additionally, mathematics self-concept mediated the relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics performance. These findings have important implications for educators who work with students with and without MLD. [For the complete proceedings, see ED658295.]
