Latinx Students' Mathematics Anxiety and Their Study Habits: Exploring Their Relationship at the Postsecondary Level
Fernández, Luis Miguel; Wang, Xiaohui; Ramirez, Olga; Villalobos, María Cristina
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v20 n3 p278-296 Jul 2021
Increasing Latinx students' success in college-level mathematics calls for exploration on their mathematics anxiety as it relates to study habits. Using a sample of Latinx students in a Hispanic Serving Institution and their levels of mathematics anxiety, pairwise analyses revealed significant differences among subgroups. Moreover, regression analyses showed Latinx students' study habits being predictive of mathematics anxiety. As a result, recommendations are provided that could alleviate mathematics anxiety and its effects on Latinx college students.
