Most higher education institutions in the UK now offer some form of additional individual support for mathematics and statistics. Whilst numerous studies have shown mathematics support can improve grades and reduce failure rates, there is a lack of research on other outcomes of interest such as anxiety or confidence, and very little research…

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between pre-service mathematics teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge and their anxiety about teaching mathematics according to gender and class variables. The relational survey model, which is one of the general survey model types, was used in the research carried out by…

Math anxiety, a lack of mathematics understanding and unproductive beliefs surrounding mathematics have the potential to cause math teaching anxiety in pre-service elementary teachers. This study sought to investigate the causes of math anxiety in pre-service elementary teachers and develop a course sequence to address those causes, thereby…

The aim of this study is to examine studies on mathematics teaching anxiety thematically. For this purpose, 44 research articles on mathematics teaching anxiety published between 2000-2020 were examined. Studies were collected through document review and evaluated in terms of publication year, sample type, method, data collection tools, purpose…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of digital gamification-based instruction on the attitudes towards mathematics and anxiety of seventh-grade gifted students in the "Equation and Equation" unit. In this study, pretest-posttest unbalanced group experimental design was used. The study was conducted in the 2022-2023…

Mathematics is a common component of many science and social science degrees, but frequently not considered a prerequisite for their study. This can lead to some students studying mathematics components at undergraduate level with little or no previous mathematical learning and varying levels of motivation, or desire, to study mathematics. This…

Research has shown that many primary students experience transition barriers between additive and multiplicative thinking. This paper analysed responses from 253 Years 3 to 6 students to a diagnostic assessment which consists of whole number multiplication and division problems involving equal groups, arrays, multiplicative comparison and…

Mathematics achievement is core to South Africa's readiness for digital innovation, yet current pass rates in this subject are below the global average. Simply attributing mathematics performance to intelligence does not fully account for the multifaceted reality of achievement in the subject. The current study investigated the value of both…

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…

This study explored the mediating role of mathematics anxiety in the relationship between TPACK competencies and mathematics teaching anxiety. This mediation role was tested through structural equation modeling using data from 426 pre-service mathematics teachers selected through criterion sampling. TPACK Competencies Scale, Mathematics Anxiety…

Addressing dyscalculia and math anxiety is vital to improving student's mathematical development, overall academic success, and long-term educational and career prospects. This newsletter will help readers with strategies for supporting students anxious about math; investigate how the overlap between reading and math disabilities can improve math…

Only a limited number of research has examined preservice preschool teachers' attitudes toward and beliefs about teaching mathematics, likely because there are no instruments aimed at preschool settings that have appropriately established psychometric properties. In the current study, we addressed this deficit and aimed to adapt the Preschool…

Mathematics, when viewed as a subject to be studied, is a long-established polarising discipline; people's feelings are always passionate and deeply rooted in their identity. Self-identified 'maths people' may end up in careers driven by their fascination with numbers; engineers, architects, analysts, whilst those on the opposite end of the…

The plethora of research studies on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education gives us a first picture of the difficulties and challenges encountered at the various educational levels, especially at the elementary level, by students aged from 6 to 12 years old. The aim was to examine the existence of math anxiety in primary education and…

Employing best practices for teaching mathematics like math manipulatives, children's literature picture books, and GeoGebra can all be connected and better help to prepare students for a STEM world to develop confident young individuals in doing mathematics in a world of AI, distance learning, and online with emerging technologies. This paper…
