An Investigation On Pre-Service Elementary School Teachers’ Mathematics Anxiety

Abstract: The aims of this study are to (1) determine the level of mathematics anxiety (MA) of pre-service elementary school teachers, (2) compare the MA among pre-service elementary school teachers in terms of gender, and (3) compare the MA among pre-service elementary school teachers in terms of the semester. This research employed a quantitative approach with comparative research design. In addition, the samples were 498 pre-service elementary school teachers. The instrument used is the Revised-Mathematics Anxiety Su… Show more

“…With increased experience in studying elementary school education, the math anxiety of preservice elementary school teachers was found to decrease in previous studies (Çatlioǧlu et al, 2009;Isiksal et al, 2009; but see Rahayu et al, 2019). Consistent with this reported decrease in math anxiety during teacher education, Gresham (2018) found evidence for a further decrease in math anxiety when teachers start teaching.…”

“…While gender differences in math anxiety were found for elementary school teachers in Western countries (Brady & Bowd, 2005;Kelly & Tomhave, 1985), they were not found in other countries (Çatlioǧlu et al, 2009, 2014Peker & Ertekin, 2011;Rahayu et al, 2019). Although this suggests cultural differences, further cross-cultural research is needed to support this claim.…”

“…Third, the math anxiety of elementary school teachers might decrease with increasing experience in teaching math. This is supported by studies reporting that students have lower levels of math anxiety at the end, compared to students at the beginning, of studies in elementary school education (Çatlioǧlu et al, 2009;Isiksal et al, 2009; but see Rahayu et al, 2019). However, the reported high levels of math anxiety are almost exclusively based on studies on pre-service elementary school teachers (Hembree, 1990;Kelly & Tomhave, 1985).…”

“…However, the problem of math anxiety and elementary school teachers cannot be reduced to gender differences, because female pre-service elementary school teachers were found to express more math anxiety than female students from other fields (Szczygieł & Cipora, 2016). For elementary school teachers in particular, some studies found gender differences (Brady & Bowd, 2005;Kelly & Tomhave, 1985) but others did not (Çatlioǧlu et al, 2009, 2014Rahayu, Mustadi, & Sarjiman, 2019). Therefore, the question will be addressed, if female elementary school teachers have a higher level of math anxiety as compared to their male counterparts (Kelly & Tomhave, 1985).…”
