Mathematics anxiety and mathematics achievement

Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2003
This paper is a distillation of the major result from the 1998 Ph.D. thesis of the late David Wither. It details a longitudinal study over five years of the relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics achievement. It starts from the already well documented negative correlation between the two, and seeks to establish one of the three ...

Teacher Expectancy and Mathematics Achievement

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1970
The phenomenon of experimenter bias (E-bias) was investigated in a fourth-grade arithmetic lesson by using a modified programmed learning task on division in the five-family (five is one of the factors.) E-bias predicts a relation between teacher expectancies and outcomes despite standardization of tasks. Six schools were randomly assigned across three

Relationship between Mathematics Self Efficacy and Mathematics Achievement

International Journal of Emerging Knowledge Studies
Mathematics self efficacy has been described as the belief a student holds in regard to her or his ability to enact mathematical tasks. Mathematics self efficacy, or the belief inside oneself about their capability to succeed in completing mathematics tasks-a psychological construct-was found to be a powerful contributor to mathematics achievement. The
