“…From that, students could understand their mental health status and implement coping strategies to get over their academic anxiety. Our findings provide additional information for teachers, school counselors to realize student's negative emotions, opportunely support, and find appropriate methods to alleviate student's negative emotions during the teaching process (Asikhia et al, 2015;Olaoluwa, 2021). Moreover, educators can design mathematics curriculum integrating theories and practices, and develop psychological support programs for Vietnamese high school students (Van et al, 2019) such as organizing hands-on activities in mathematics learning, applying cooperative learning in small-group learning, providing extra tuition sessions, organizing more discussions activities and more student directed classroom, and focusing on individual mathematics improvement.…”

Increasing numbers of students around the world are suffering from mathematics anxiety. The main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between mathematics anxiety and gender, grade, career choices, and academic achievement in Grade 10, 11, and 12 students. This study used the Revised Version of the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale to survey 1,548 high school students (570 males and 978 females) from high schools in Vietnam. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) test, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyze data. The results show that there are significant differences in the influence of grade, academic achievement, and students’ career choices on mathematics anxiety. Academic coping strategies, gender, grade, and career choices are significant predictors of mathematics anxiety. Grade 12 students have higher levels of mathematics anxiety than others. Students with high average mathematics scores (9.0–10.0) have higher levels of mathematics anxiety than students with lower scores. Besides, students choosing finance and economics or industrial engineering to pursue into higher education also experienced higher levels of mathematics anxiety than others. This study contributes to the general discussion about the nature of mathematics anxiety and the relationship between mathematics anxiety and academic achievement.

“…Most of the quantitative studies applied a pre-post design and included a control or comparison group. Whilst some studies used a waiting list procedure for the control group (i.e., the group received the same intervention with some time delay after the intervention group), other studies applied alternative interventions (e.g., Shapka and Keating, 2003;Asikhia and Mohangi, 2015) or applied modified version of the actual target intervention (Kramarski et al, 2010;Huang et al, 2014). Four studies additionally followed up on their participants in the intervention and control group (Sheffield and Hunt, 2006;Rauscher et al, 2017;Vanbecelaere et al, 2020;Vanbecelaere et al, 2021).…”

Reducing Math Anxiety in School Children: A Systematic Review of Intervention Research

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Recent studies indicate that math anxiety (MA) can already be found in school-aged children. As early MA depicts a potential risk for developing severe mathematical difficulties and impede the socio-emotional development of children, distinct knowledge about how to reduce MA in school-aged children is of particular importance. Therefore, the goal of this systematic review is to summarize the existing body of research on MA interventions for children by identifying the approaches, designs, and characteristics as well as the effects of the interventions.
