This book was released on 2017 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students frequently feel anxious about mathematics. While math anxiety is generally associated with poor math performance, multiple factors may influence how individuals with varying levels of math anxiety perform on math. In this dissertation, I examine one of the important factors that may influence the relationship between math anxiety and performance: anticipation, which is known to trigger anxiety-related responses. In Chapter 1, I investigate whether the duration of anticipation moderates the relationship between math anxiety and math performance, whether there are domain-specific performance decrements for math (compared to non-math control) tasks, and whether specific patterns of physiological responses mediate the math anxiety ~ math performance relation. I find that individuals exhibiting high, compared to low, math anxiety perform poorly on the math task after a longer anticipation period. Anticipation-related performance impairments for high math anxious individuals are domain-specific for hard problems and domain-general for easy problems. Lower parasympathetic activity, as measured by respiratory sinus arrhythmia, relates to better performance on the hard math task after the longer anticipation period among low math anxious individuals. In Chapter 2, I ask whether the duration and timing of anticipation affect math learning differently across high school students varying in math anxiety levels in a classroom context. I demonstrate that the shorter, compared to longer, anticipation before learning is associated with increased benefits of receiving a math lesson for higher math anxious individuals. Taken together, these findings advance our understanding of how and when math anxiety relates to math performance, and provide additional insights to educators on how to alleviate the negative effects of math anxiety.

Book Synopsis Mathematical and Statistics Anxiety: Educational, Social, Developmental and Cognitive Perspectives by : Kinga Morsanyi
Download or read book Mathematical and Statistics Anxiety: Educational, Social, Developmental and Cognitive Perspectives written by Kinga Morsanyi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical anxiety is a feeling of tension, apprehension or fear which arises when a person is faced with mathematical content. The negative consequences of mathematical anxiety are well-documented. Students with high levels of mathematical anxiety might underperform in important test situations, they tend to hold negative attitudes towards mathematics, and they are likely to opt out of elective mathematics courses, which also affects their career opportunities. Although at the university level many students do not continue to study mathematics, social science students are confronted with the fact that their disciplines involve learning about statistics - another potential source of anxiety for students who are uncomfortable with dealing with numerical content. Research on mathematical anxiety is a truly interdisciplinary field with contributions from educational, developmental, cognitive, social and neuroscience researchers. The current collection of papers demonstrates the diversity of the field, offering both new empirical contributions and reviews of existing studies. The contributors also outline future directions for this line of research.

Book Synopsis The Cognitive Mechanism Underlying the Math Anxiety-performance Relationship in Early Elementary School by : Gerardo Ramirez
Download or read book The Cognitive Mechanism Underlying the Math Anxiety-performance Relationship in Early Elementary School written by Gerardo Ramirez and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math anxiety in adults impacts performance in mathematics as well as motivation to enter STEM disciplines, irrespective of math competence. Less is known about the link between math anxiety and achievement in younger students, the cognitive mechanism(s) that underlie this relation, and the social factors that contribute to the development of math anxiety. Across three studies, I address whether children report math anxiety as early as 1st and 2nd grade, the cognitive mechanism(s) that underlie a relation between math anxiety and math achievement, and whether a child's teacher might contribute to his/her math anxiety and his/her math performance across the school year they share. A within-subjects pre/post design with students (Studies 1 and 2) and their respective teachers (Study 3) was used. In Study 1, I find that 1st and 2nd graders show variability in their self-reported feelings of math anxiety, and further that children's math anxiety relates to math but not reading achievement. To address why this is the case, I ask whether the math anxiety-achievement relation is moderated by individual differences in working memory capacity. I find that children with higher working memory (WM) counter-intuitively show a more distinct negative math anxiety-achievement relation compared to their lower WM counterparts. In Study 2, I replicate the results of Study 1 with a larger sample of students using both linear regression and hierarchical linear modeling to account for classroom variation in achievement. I also turn towards the literature on individual differences in problem solving strategies to put forth an account of why children with higher WM demonstrate a more pronounced math anxiety-achievement relation. Lastly, in Study 3, I examine whether teachers' math anxiety relates to their students' growth in math achievement and their students' math anxiety across the school year. I find that teacher math anxiety is a significant negative predictor of girls' (but not boys') change in math achievement from the beginning to the end of the school year. However, I do not find evidence for a relation between teacher math anxiety and student math anxiety. This work provides the first empirical evidence of children's math anxiety early in development and its relation to math performance. These results will inform interventions designed to safeguard students from the detrimental effects of math anxiety.

Book Synopsis The Role of Math Anxiety and Situational Anxiety in Math Performance by : Andrea Therese Henry
Download or read book The Role of Math Anxiety and Situational Anxiety in Math Performance written by Andrea Therese Henry and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Math anxiety is a specific tension, apprehension, or fear surrounding math. Math anxiety is negatively related to math performance, such that those who are highly math anxious show poorer performance in basic numerical processing and perform worse on complex math problems as compared to those who are low in math anxiety. Math anxiety is a trait anxiety, in that some individuals have higher levels of persistent anxiety overall than others, which in this case is specifically related to math. Reductions in working memory, a limited-capacity executive resource used for the immediate storage, integration and manipulation of information, are seen in math anxious individuals when solving math problems. It is not just trait anxiety that relates to performance. Situational anxiety induced from the environment has also been shown to negatively impact math problem-solving due to the effects of anxiety on working memory resources. Importantly, math problems are often solved in high pressure environments where an individual needs to perform at her best. Little research has explored how situational anxiety induced from the environment may interact with trait math anxiety to impact math performance. In experiment 1 we demonstrate that undergraduate adults who are high in math anxiety show reductions in math performance on high cognitively demanding problems in a low pressure situation, and math performance does not decline further with situational pressure. In experiment 2 we demonstrate that children who are high in math anxiety and high in WM show declines in math performance if they report high levels of state anxiety following a math interaction they completed with their parent. Children who are high in math anxiety and high in WM who report low levels of state anxiety following a math interaction perform similarly to those children who are high in WM and low in math anxiety. Similar effects are seen in high WM children if parents report high levels of state anxiety and math anxiety, though the effects are small and not significant. In experiment 2 we also demonstrate that parents show declines in their own math performance following a math interaction with their child that are modified by the parent's math anxiety and by the situational pressure induced by the interaction. Parent's in the low pressure condition with high math anxiety showed declines in math performance as compared to parents with low math anxiety. In the pressure condition, low math anxious parents perform similarly to high math anxious parents in the low pressure condition. High math anxious parents in the pressure condition show the lowest math performance. Our results in the first experiment do not suggest a compound effect of trait math anxiety and state anxiety/pressure on performance, but this may be due to increased pressure they feel in what we consider a 'low pressure' condition. Our results in experiment 2 demonstrate a compound effect of math anxiety and state anxiety/pressure on math performance in both children and parents. Importantly, when highly math anxious children report low levels of state anxiety following a math interaction completed either under low or high pressure, they perform similarly to low math anxious children. When high math anxious parents report low levels of state anxiety following a low pressure situation, they also performed similarly to low math anxious parents, though this is not significant. Ultimately, the negative effects of math anxiety on math performance may be alleviated if an individual's reported perceptions of their anxiety are low. In order to help improve math performance for math anxious individuals, interventions may focus on off-loading an individual's worries in order to reduce perceptions of anxiety or may focus on helping math anxious individuals reinterpret their anxiety prior to performing math. This may be particularly beneficial for children who are highly math anxious.

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Math Anxiety, Math Self-efficacy, and Achievement Among a Sample of Eighth Grade Students by : Eric W. Hafner
Download or read book The Relationship Between Math Anxiety, Math Self-efficacy, and Achievement Among a Sample of Eighth Grade Students written by Eric W. Hafner and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role that math self-efficacy plays in the relationship between math anxiety and achievement among eighth grade students. Understanding the impact of self-efficacy on school motivation during adolescence is important because a decline in academic self-efficacy often begins during middle school. According to social cognitive theory, both math self-efficacy and math anxiety are variables that are associated with student performance. A correlational design was utilized in order to examine these relationships. Two self-reports were administered to the students in order to quantify levels of math anxiety and math self-efficacy. The students' most current grades in the subject of math were also incorporated into this study as the criterion variable. Results demonstrated that all three variables were significantly correlated and in the expected directions. Regression analyses revealed that although math anxiety was a significant predictor of achievement, math self-efficacy mediated the relationship between math anxiety and achievement. These results are consistent with those hypothesized by social cognitive theory. Despite the fact that mandated standardized testing is increasing in our schools, the primary implication of this study is that students' cognitions about their abilities in math are more important than their emotions or feelings about the subject of math. It is hoped that the results will help educators identify those students who may need additional assistance in order to become self-sufficient learners and confident in their abilities. Educators can also benefit by becoming aware of these other factors that can inhibit student learning.
