The present study sought to examine four key factors to mathematical anxiety research. First, examine if adult learner is less impacted by mathematical anxiety interventions than their younger peers. Second, the potential effect of incubation theory on mathematical anxiety treatment involving low math anxious individuals. Third, if older adults,…

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between test anxiety and math anxiety and determining whether some of the variables have differences in test anxiety and mathematics anxiety scores of 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. The study was conducted with 337 students in two middle school selected by random sampling method in…

No research has been conducted on college students in developmental mathematics classes struggling with both mathematics anxiety and computer anxiety in a qualitative manner. Prior studies have dealt with college students in developmental mathematics classes struggling with mathematics anxiety and college students in developmental mathematics…

Mathematics is one of the subjects that is taken very seriously in the school system, irrespective of country or level of education. This study therefore examined the effects of collaborative learning technique and Mathematics anxiety on Mathematics learning achievement of secondary school students in Gombe State, Nigeria. Pretest-posttest,…

This research evaluated the extent of students' affective beliefs towards mathematics at Southern Leyte State University (SLSU), Sogod, Southern Leyte, Philippines as the basis for a Mathematical Disposition Intervention Plan. The study employed descriptive research as the investigation centers on the extent of the students' affective beliefs…

This paper introduces a web-based, interactive point pattern analysis "game" that allows users to generate quickly and repeatedly a point pattern on screen and immediately learn whether the pattern is statistically different from random. It uses two point pattern analysis methods: quadrat analysis (QA) and nearest neighbor analysis…

In this nonconcurrent, multiple-baseline, single-subject research study, the authors conducted a preliminary exploration of whether mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) can be expanded to the treatment of math anxiety. Three high school students who were assessed with high levels of math anxiety met individually twice a week for 6 weeks with…

The purpose of this study was to test three pathways from achievement goals to academic performance in statistics classes. Participants were 247 undergraduate students in psychology taking an introductory course on statistics. They completed questionnaires shortly after the midterm, and their final grades were provided by their professors at the…

The aim of this study is to investigate the anxiety levels of high school students towards mathematics lesson according to gender variable. A total of 89 ninth grade students (29 females and 60 males) from various high schools were enrolled in Van province center in the 2017-2018 academic year. In the study, the data were collected by using the…

The quantitative study explored the mathematics anxiety of the five hundred sixteen (516) junior high school students with age ranging from eleven (11) to seventeen (17). Data collection was realized through the administration of an adopted research questionnaire with declared reliability of 0.85. The analysis of the data revealed that the anxiety…

This study aims to investigate the mathematics anxieties of primary and middle school parents and their contributions to the teaching of mathematics. The data of the research were collected using "Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Parents," "Parents' Contribution to the Mathematics Education Scale," and "Parent Form,"…

In this study, we examined whether generalised mathematics anxiety, application of mathematics in science anxiety, and positive attitudes towards mathematics influenced adolescents' intentions to study biology, chemistry, and physics in Grades 11 and 12. Participants were 477 students in Grades 8-10 from two schools in Western Sydney. Girls…

The Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) is commonly used to compare groups on math anxiety. Group comparisons should however be preceded by a demonstration of metric and scalar measurement invariance, which is currently only available for undergraduate students in the USA. This study tested for metric and scalar measurement invariance of AMAS…

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability caused by a neurological problem. It is a worldwide problem with a prevalence of 5-10% of the population. It is described mainly by difficulties in reading, spelling, accuracy, fluency, and decoding abilities. This article is chiefly concerned to provide an overview of dyslexia, some key issues based on…

We examined the influences of pre-solving pause time, algebraic knowledge, mathematics self-efficacy, and mathematics anxiety on middle-schoolers' strategy efficiency in an algebra learning game. We measured strategy efficiency using (a) the number of steps taken to complete a problem; (b) the proportion of problems completed on the initial…
