“…The study conducted by Siaw et al (2021) in Malaysia showed that there is "a weak positive correlation between students' anxiety levels and their mathematics performance" (p. 47). The students' behaviour regarding the process of learning math was analysed through a questionnaire.…”

COVID-19 pandemic has had a great influence on educational systems all over the world. The changes which occurred during the last year and a half were related to adapting the teaching-learning process to the online environment, to students’ and teachers’ behaviour regarding the way they got involved in educational activities, and to the lack of proper training for both categories. The mastery learning model can be adapted to the new teaching and learning conditions, being a great advantage, especially for students who encounter different difficulties in learning mathematics. The purpose of this qualitative research was to determine how effective the implementation of a mastery learning strategy is for both in-class and online math lessons. The implemented mastery learning strategies found a fertile ground in this new learning environment and have revealed that math anxiety and test anxiety were reduced due to the constant use of formative assessments and to the opportunity to revise contents that had not been previously understood.

“…Berbagai penelitian terkait kecemasan matematika dengan tujuan yang beragam telah dilakukan mengingat dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh hal ini. Penelitian dengan tujuan untuk menginvestigasi hubungan antara kecemasan matematika mahasiswa terhadap performa mereka, level kecemasan mahasiswa berdasarkan program studi, dan mengetahui perilaku mahasiswa terhadap matematika (Siaw et al, 2020). Penelitian dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui dampak kecemasan matematika berdasarkan pada perbedaan gender (Sonia et al, 2020).…”

The purpose of this study was to find out students' math anxiety levels and compare math anxiety levels between semesters. This research was conducted because of the impact of online lectures during the pandemic era, namely the decrease in student achievement in all mathematics courses. This research was conducted in the Primary School Teacher Education Study Program of Tribuana Kalabahi University. The research method used is a quantitative research method with a comparative approach. The subjects of this study were 157 students who were in semesters 2 and 4. The instrument used in this study was the Revised-Mathematics Anxiety Survey (R-MAX) developed by Bursal and Paznokas. In this study, the instrument feasibility test is still conducted using the validity of the content and reliability test of the instrument. This instrument is declared valid in content according to mathematicians. In addition, the instrument is declared reliable using the Cronbach Alpha method with a reliability coefficient of 0.911. The results showed that students' math anxiety levels were at moderate levels. Cumulatively, 71.3% of students had moderate to very high anxiety disorders. Further comparative test results using independent t-tests showed that there was no difference in the average student math anxiety score based on semester class. Special attention is needed from the University considering the impact of student anxiety on learning achievements and pedagogic competencies in the future. Keywords: online learning, student math anxiety.

“…Mathematics, among other things, aids in the comprehension and mastery of other subjects in the Sciences and arts. When it comes to teaching children math, educators must be aware of the obstacles they will face, as it is common for children to have unfavorable attitudes toward math when they are younger [7].…”

While Mathematics is a necessary component of Science, many students enter scientific courses with minimal arithmetic skills. This descriptive-correlational study examined the relationship between Grade 9 students' Mathematics anxiety and resiliency to their academic achievement in Chemistry. Data was collected from the 302 participants drawn from the total population of 1,394. A three-part, fully adopted questionnaire was used. Descriptive scores were analyzed and interpreted using mean and standard deviation. To test for significant differences in the aspects of the dependent variables, Mann-Whitney U was used, and Spearman's rho correlation was used to test for significant relationships. Results of the study revealed that the level of Mathematics anxiety of the Grade 9 students was on the "average". On the other hand, the level of Mathematics resiliency of the Grade 9 students was “high”. The study also reflected that Grade 9 students were proficient in Chemistry. Mathematics anxiety and resiliency do not correlate with Grade 9 students’ academic achievement in Chemistry. Anxiety and resiliency of Grade 9 students towards Mathematics do not affect their ability to acquire knowledge in Chemistry. Student experience of Mathematics anxiety is not closely related to their academic achievements. It is recommended that schools provide opportunities for students to cultivate more positive attitudes toward Mathematics.
