The first section of the paper provides a statement of the problem defines the purpose, organization, and limitations of the study, and includes a glossary. The…

This document is a bibliographic collection of references listed alphabetically by author, but not otherwise categorized. The final two pages list by title those documents where no individual author is credited. In addition to mathematical anxiety, attitudes, and sex differences in achievement and participation, a few documents deal with…

This paper sought to identify some of the dimensions, correlates, and effective treatments of mathematics anxiety. The introductory section provides a statement of the problem, defines the purpose, organization, and limitation of the study, and includes a glossary of terms. In the second section, an annotated bibliography is presented, organized…

This study examined the nature, causes, and reinforcement of mathematics anxiety as well as methods of alleviating at least some of its symptoms. The literature on the subject was reviewed and an annotated bibliography prepared with entries grouped under three headings: (1) What is Mathematics Anxiety? Definition, Characteristics, and Symptoms;…

Presented are abstracts and analyses of eleven research reports related to mathematics education. Five deal with aspects of learning theory, three with classroom practices, and one each on student characteristics, cognitive development, and mathematics anxiety. Research related to mathematics education which was reported in RIE and CIJE between…

This bibliography identifies reports of research on the nature, effects, and relief of mathematics anxiety. The listing was developed for a synthesis of research performed by meta-analysis at Adrian College, Michigan. Guidelines for including studies were applied as follows: (1) the study provided product-moment correlation coefficients and their…

This study involved a literature review aimed at identifying: some of the significant causes and correlates of mathematics anxiety, significant treatments of mathematics anxiety, and significant methods of prevention of mathematics anxiety. The annotated bibliography is structured under these three headings. Three categories of correlates of math…

Twelve research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Three of the reports deal with aspects of learning theory, three with topics in mathematics instruction (fractions, problem solving, and application orientation), two with aspects of computer assisted instruction, and one each with advanced placement,…

It is a concern of many educators and researchers that females are underrepresented in the field of mathematics and careers that require mathematics. This study begins with a review of the literature that examines the sex-related differences in mathematics. Three major categories involving the relationship between females and mathematics are then…

The purpose of this study was to review the research on sex-related differences in mathematics achievement to determine the extent of the inequalities and the factors which cause them. The first section concentrates on differences in mathematics achievement between males and females. The second section describes the sex differences in mathematics…

This is the 13th annual listing of research on mathematics education. Annotated references are organized alphabetically by author within three categories: (1) research summaries; (2) journal-published reports; and (3) dissertation abstracts. An index is also provided to help locate references to designated mathematical topics. Topic areas include:…

An annotated bibliography, compiled as part of a 1-year project to look at factors affecting the participation and performance of Minnesota Indian girls in mathematics, contains 64 entries, dating between 1967 and 1982. Because Indian Students in general leave the public schools underprepared for jobs, and because the plight of Indian women is…
