Direct linkNielsen, Tine; Kreiner, Svend – Cogent Education, 2021
In 2018, Nielsen and Kreiner provided evidence that the Attitudes and Relationship to Statistics--Revised (HFS-R) questionnaire provides essentially valid, objective, and reliable measurement of three statistical anxiety constructs and one statistical attitude construct among students of sociology and public health. The purpose of the study…

Esnard, Talia Randa; Alladin, Fareena Maryam; Samlal, Keisha Chandra – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
The objectives of this study were to examine (1) the expectation for performance (EFP) in statistics of first year university students, (2) the relative effect of previous mathematics performance (PMP), perceived statistical self-efficacy (SSE), and statistics anxiety (SA) for understanding these expectations, and (3) whether students' EFP scores…

Instruction in prekindergarten through third grade (P-3) lends itself to authentic, project-based and playful experiences that immerse learners in STEM activities and instruction. In an era of increased focus on literacy and math skills, STEM provides an interdisciplinary approach that may prove more effective for young students to acquire skills…

Wendi Malenfant – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Many pre-service teachers suffer from mathematics anxiety which can lead to mathematics avoidance, poor mathematics performance, and the potential to pass on mathematics anxiety to their future students. More and more first-generation college students, who also suffer from math anxiety, are attending four-year universities and studying to be…

David, Amir; Rubinsten, Orly; Berkovich-Ohana, Aviva – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Math anxiety has received increasing focus in recent years, yet the causes for developing math-anxiety remain unclear. Whereas previous research focused on physiological/environmental causes, we examine the link between math-anxiety, dispositional mindfulness, and self-centeredness (operationalized as self-prioritization and decentering). The…

Bosica, John – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
Preservice elementary school teachers are under ever increasing pressure to deliver quality mathematics instruction to their students. Mathematics anxiety and mathematics teacher efficacy are constructs that are commonly measured in preservice elementary school teachers and are used to help identify future challenges these preservice teachers…

Angela Hubbard – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Students who experience statistics anxiety have reported struggling with academic performance, an increase in academic dishonesty, and an aversion to careers or majors that are perceived to rely on statistical skills. Research has suggested that statistics anxiety is related to lower levels of motivation; however, it remains unknown if, or to what…

Lenka Farkacová; Mária Králová; Eva Zelendová – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
This article aims to identify the mutual relationship between the awareness of the importance of mathematical competencies for the acquisition of work-related skills and the perceived importance of the latter for performance in future work and successful participation in the labor market. How these issues relate to math anxiety is also explored.…

Paraskevi Michael-Chrysanthou; Areti Panaoura; Athanasios Gagatsis; Iliada Elia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
The present study examines secondary school students' geometrical figure apprehension based on Duval's theoretical framework regarding perceptual, operative, and discursive apprehension. The aim is to explore the cognitive structure of the geometrical figure apprehension dimensions (operative, discursive, and perceptual) in three grades of…

Alfred Mvunyelwa Msomi; Ekaterina Rzyankina – Journal of Student Affairs in Africa, 2024
The provision of multidimensional holistic support in mathematics for students transitioning from secondary school to university is identified as a challenge facing global education systems, including in South Africa. Ongoing attempts to select effective mathematics learning support reflect the enduring nature of a problem caused by a range of…

Eidlin-Levy, Hili; Avraham, Elad; Fares, Laurain; Rubinsten, Orly – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Links between math anxiety and the choice of a math-intensive career might change over develop- ment and difer by gender. The study included three research populations: primary school (N=87, 48 females, mean age=10.2), high school (N=107, 61 females, mean age=15.7), and university students (N=100, 53 females, mean age=27.4). Students…

Christine Anne Bautista – Teachers and Curriculum, 2023
The purpose of this review was to analyse empirical studies related to reducing mathematics anxiety in the classroom. A scoping process was used to locate literature, and a thematic method was used to analyse and group the data obtained from the studies. A total of 14 articles published between 2014 and 2022, mostly using mixed-methods approaches,…

Hilz, Anna; Aldrup, Karen – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2023
Studies on math learning programs are lacking that consider a wide set of outcome variables, and students' practice behavior. Therefore, we investigated whether an adaptive arithmetic learning program fosters students' math performance (addition and subtraction), math self-concept, and a reduction of math anxiety, and how practice behavior…

Mathematics anxiety (MA) has a debilitating impact on learning, achievement, mental health, and the future career life of students. Though MA is a popular research theme, there is little agreement among researchers regarding the cross-cultural effect of gender. The purpose of this paper was to explore the perceived MA differences among males and…

Kiss, Allyson J.; Vukovic, Rose – Psychology in the Schools, 2021
Little is known about how math anxiety in parents may relate to engagement in their children's education (i.e., parent involvement, parent educational expectations) or children's math outcomes (i.e., child math achievement and child math anxiety). The current exploratory study examined these relations between parents and their fifth grade…
