This study was designed to determine what change the i-Ready math tutorial videos had on math performance, self-efficacy, and math anxiety with middle school math students. In addition, the study determined the student perception of the effectiveness of the i-Ready math tutorial videos. The purpose was to help educators identify a specific tool…

Math anxiety is a concern for elementary students and their teachers. It is thought that the more confident a teacher feels within the area of math, the more confident they are delivering math instruction. If students are being instructed by teachers who lack confidence in math, there is a greater chance of the students themselves developing math…

In this study, the mediating roles of perceived teacher support and students' mathematics self-beliefs on the feedback process were investigated in The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) context in Turkey. PISA 2012 mathematics scores and questionnaire responses of 4848 15-year-old students were analyzed. Results indicated that…

Early childhood preservice teachers participated in a qualitative multiple case study to explore and examine the effectiveness of reform-based constructivist methods used in a mathematics methods course to change their mathematics anxiety, mathematics self-efficacy, and mathematics teachers' efficacy beliefs. Findings indicated that instructor's…

In the current study, the appropriateness of the Mathematics Attitude Questionnaire administered to middle school 8th grade students in the TIMSS 2015 application to the exploratory structural equation and confirmatory factor analysis models was examined. The study was conducted on 6079 students making up the sample of Turkey. In the TIMSS 2015…

This study examined mathematics self-efficacy and the characteristics of flow in the context of performing mathematical tasks. In particular, it explored the subjective experiences of 113 undergraduate students enrolled in a developmental mathematics course while they were independently solving certain mathematical problems. This study…

This study explored the relationship between math anxiety and perceived self-efficacy for teaching mathematics in preschool teachers. Perceptions of and attributions for the teachers' perceived math anxiety and perceived self-efficacy for teaching mathematics were also explored. The study employed a mixed-method design consisting of both…

Mathematics is often perceived as a difficult subject by many students, parents and teachers alike. Difficulties with the subject are most often attributed to cognitive factors (lack of ability, preparedness, practice and knowledge). Emotional factors are often overlooked and are easily written off as potential persistent and serious causes of…

The purpose of this multiple methods study was to investigate whether elementary mathematics teachers' mathematics anxiety and/or mathematical efficacy predict their mathematical teaching efficacy. The study included 51 practicing elementary mathematics teachers in first through sixth grade. The teachers completed the Revised Mathematics Anxiety…

This paper reports some experiments on probabilistic reasoning designed to investigate the impact of the probabilistic problem presentation format (verbal-numerical and graphical-pictorial) on subjects' confidence in the correctness of their performance, other than the calibration between confidence and accuracy. To understand the potential effect…

Advances in technology have changed the world. Finding effective means for incorporating technology in the learning environment is important to educators. One of the newer strategies is blended learning, which is also known as flipped instruction. With this mode of instructional delivery, teachers maintain the role of instructional leader but…

This study identified the moderated mediation relationship among age, Internet self-efficacy, and statistics anxiety on student satisfaction after controlling for demographics and technology experiences in research methods courses in a blended professional doctoral program. One hundred and thirty-one students in a three-year Ed.D. Program…

Students' academic achievement in courses with a high mathematical content can be affected by their levels of trait, math and test anxiety. In this study, 180 university students were assessed on these types of anxiety and the relationships between them and students' performance were evaluated. Higher levels of math anxiety were related to a low…

The aim of the present study is to advocate the use of a participatory action research programme, the Formative Scaffolding Programme (FSP), in mathematics. The FSP's main structure is presented as well as an implementation of a class intervention, with the aim of exploring the FSP test cycle's virtues in a social science class in a Swedish…

The recent introduction of a personal literacy and numeracy test (LANTITE) has been part of tighter accreditation of Initial Teacher Education programs across Australia. This article focuses on pre-service teachers' experiences, beliefs and feelings about the new high-stakes testing regime. The data are drawn from a six-month project intended to…
