A quantitative literacy course titled "Computational Geology" has been taught at the University of South Florida for over 20 years at the undergraduate level, largely by the same professor. Due to the extended course tenure, a unique opportunity presented itself to qualitatively study what the perceived broader impacts of the course were…

Mathematics education research has been slow to adopt inclusive practices concerning Queer students. In this study, two doctoral dissertations highlight responsible research approaches to advance inclusivity. Ambiguous use of the terms "sex" and "gender" and using only binary statistical methods can lead to erroneous…

Research suggests that math anxiety correlates directly with individuals' views of mathematics-related experiences. Research also suggests that math anxiety may begin in early elementary grades and remain into adulthood. This study examined how teachers' experiences, perceptions, and mathematics confidence levels influence mathematics instruction.…

We share our theorizing about a common statement regarding a math person that is often perceived as innocuous in society. More specifically, we are referring to people's responses when an individual shares that they are studying mathematics, such as "I have always hated math" and "Oh, you must be so smart." We draw on the…

This study aims to investigate whether student anxiety about the subject of mathematics has any effect on the achievement of middle-school students in Amman, Jordan. It also aims to investigate whether student gender plays a role. The study sample consists of 180 seventh grade students enrolled in Amman public schools during the 2018/2019 academic…

We present a validation study of fifteen new math anxiety scale items designed to augment the widely-used Revised Mathematics Anxiety Scale (RMARS). While the RMARS and other standard instruments measure students' anxiety in response to computation, test situations, and math course activities such as buying a textbook or watching a lecture, the…

In the present study with 86 undergraduate students, we related trait Mathematics Anxiety (MA) with two indicators of state anxiety: self-reported state anxiety and electrodermal activity (EDA). Extending existing research, we included appraisals of control and perceived value in hierarchical multiple regression analyses in accordance with the…

This research was carried out to examine middle school students' perceptions of mathematics self-efficacy and their concerns about mathematics. In the research, the Mathematics Anxiety Scale was used to determine students' anxiety levels and the Self-Efficacy Scale was used to determine the level of self-efficacy perceptions. The sample of the…

Approximately 80% of community college students and 25% of four-year students taking mathematics courses in post-secondary institutions struggle with moderate to high math anxiety, and 67% of two-year and 44% of four-year students are remedial noncompleters "no degree and not enrolled" (Chen, 2016, p. 35). Tobias (1993) stated that it…

The primary goals of this study are to investigate if cognitive activation increases mathematics self-efficacy, which in turn alleviates anxiety and to examine the moderating role of internal migrant status. Hierarchical linear models and multilevel structural equation models were employed to datasets of 3088 fourth graders from 57 classrooms in…

In this study, the relationships between task value, self-efficacy and mathematics anxiety in everyday life in secondary school students were investigated. In addition, the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between task value and mathematics anxiety in daily life was examined. 203 secondary school students participated in the…

Teaching using the principles of mathematical resilience can lead to a broad range of implementations with different emphases, all intended to mitigate the development of mathematical anxiety in learners and its attendant problems. This article considers 12 primary teachers' responses to the challenge of developing mathematical resilience within…

Providing adequate proof is one essential mathematical method, but it is a difficult task for many school-age students. While previous studies have revealed the cognitive factors of proving the proof, the function of affective factors and learning engagement has been largely unexplored. This study examined the effects and processes associated with…

Often pre-service early childhood and elementary teachers, many who are female, feel they are not good at math and appear uncomfortable at the prospect of teaching math. Given the influence pre-service teachers' attitudes toward math might have on their learning, as well as that of their future students, examining the precursors of mathematical…
