Early Signs of Mathematics Anxiety?

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012
AbstractMathematics anxiety refers to individual's negative affect when engaging in numerical and mathematical tasks. Researchers have recently connected high math anxiety to lower performance on math tasks, developmental dyscalculia, and lower self-efficacy towards math learning.

Trait- and State-Components of Mathematics Anxiety versus Perceived Mathematics Anxiety

International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2023
Negative emotions such as mathematics anxiety (MA) may lead to the avoidance of mathematics, which can have dire consequences for future career-related decisions. This paper compared Grade 10 learners’ levels of trait-MA with perceived MA according to the type of school and gender.

An exploration of whether the extent and orientation of the discrepancy in perceived and actual mathematical efficacy affects mathematical anxiety

Frontiers in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2023
A questionnaire survey was used to study the effect of the discrepancy between perceived and actual mathematical efficacy (discrepancy in mathematical efficacy) on mathematics anxiety, and the moderating effect of bias in mathematical efficacy estimation.

Schooling Trajectories and the Development of Brain Dynamics: A Comparative Study of Montessori and Traditional Education

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigate whether Montessori and traditional schooling systems shape the developmental trajectory of large‐scale brain dynamics in different ways. We quantify the arrow of time (“non‐reversibility”) in neural activity during resting state and movie‐watching, revealing distinct maturational patterns.

Investigating the Link Between Negative Interpretation Bias and Anxiety in a Mathematics Context

SAGE Open
Mathematics anxiety is an important negative emotion that can impact mathematics achievement. Clinical anxiety research suggests that cognitive biases, specifically negative interpretation bias, can lead to the development of anxiety.

Measuring Child Disadvantage: Comparing Multidimensional and Socioeconomic Approaches for Predicting Developmental Outcomes

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes.

National and International Monitoring of Student Literacy and Numeracy Attainment: The Case for Rigorous Macro and Micro Analysis

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In her 2024 paper Are Australian students' academic skills declining? Interrogating 25 years of national and international standardised assessment data, Larsen compiled an impressive summary of major international (PISA, PIRLS and TIMSS) and national (NAPLAN) standardised assessments pertaining to literacy and numeracy.

The Development and Part Validation of a U.K. Scale for Mathematics Anxiety [PDF]

, 2011
There is a paucity of information surrounding maths anxiety levels in the British undergraduate student population, and, due to terminological issues, existing measures of maths anxiety may not be appropriate measures to use with this population.
