The Influence of Pre-University Students’ Mathematics Test Anxiety and Numerical Anxiety on Mathematics Achievement

Abstract

<p class="apa">This study examines the relationship between mathematics test anxiety and numerical anxiety on students’ mathematics achievement. 140 pre-university students who studied at one of the institutes of higher learning were being investigated. Gender issue pertaining to mathematics anxieties was being addressed besides investigating the magnitude of the variables for mathematics test anxiety and numerical anxiety. The data revealed that there was a positive correlation between mathematics test anxiety and numerical anxiety on students’ mathematics achievement. Results of the multiple regressions showed that all the variables of mathematics anxieties were statistically significant on students’ mathematics achievement. Non-parametric tests also revealed that mathematics anxiety was statistically significant in measuring students’ mathematics achievement.</p>

Hubungan Antara Kecemasan Matematika Dan Self-Efficacy Dengan Hasil Belajar Matematika Siswa Sma X Kota Palangka Raya

“…Salah satu definisi terkait dengan mathematics test anxiety mengatakan bahwa dimensi ini mengacu pada kejadian sehari-hari dengan situasi kongkrit yang membutuhkan beberapa bentuk manipulasi angka seperti penambahan dan perkalian (Rounds & Hendel, 1980). Indikator dari dimensi ini mengatakan bahwa perasaan cemas akan muncul ketika seseorang dihadapkan dengan tes Matematika (Seng, 2015). Dengan kata lain melalui dimensi ini dapat dilihat bahwa subyek dalam penelitian mempunyai tingkatan kecemasan Matematika yang tinggi ketika dihadapkan dengan ujian Matematika.…”

Anxiety about Mathematics among Economics Students in Mexico

“…Several authors [13][14][15] point out that anxiety about mathematics is manifested frequently in upper-secondary students, leading us to think that it is not alien to students of the economic disciplines. In the results obtained by [16], it was identified that anxiety about mathematics is inherent to the construct of the attitude toward this subject and therefore impacts performance in learning about issues related to economics.…”

Factores que explican la ansiedad hacia las matemáticas en estudiantes de Economía en México

“…El fenómeno de la ansiedad hacia las matemáticas se manifiesta con frecuencia en el alumnado de universitarios, no es de extrañar que también esté presente en los estudiantes de economía (Seng, 2015). La relación entre la economía y las matemáticas se ha venido manifestando desde el siglo XVIII, su campo de reflexión ha sido cuantitativo dada la pretensión de la elaboración de conocimiento objetivo sobre los fenómenos económicos así como la construcción de información abstracta a partir de datos empíricos propios del quehacer matemático (Benetti, 2018).…”
