Tracing Students’ Practicing: Effects of a Math Learning Program on Anxiety-Performance Link

• In Event: GSIC Poster Session I

Abstract

This study (N=880 students) aims to investigate if math anxiety's negative effect on performance is attributed to avoidance behavior with a math learning program. When tracing students’ practicing over 45 weeks, math anxious students practiced equally. Increased practice resulted in better performance, suggesting math anxious students benefit from such programs.
