Action research is a method that has proven to be valuable as a problem-solving tool. It can provide opportunities for reflection, improvement, transformation, and solutions to learning. The idea for this project began as a discussion among the Mathematics Phobia at Secondary school in West Bengal followed by WBCHSE Curriculum.

Gender. A range of research has shown that gender might modulate the math anxiety-performance link. First, gender has been suggested to modulate math anxiety (Mustafa and KoçAk, 2006); however, the findings were inconsistent.Several studies showed significantly stronger MA in females than in males (Osborne, 2001; Yüksel-Sahin, 2008; Dowker et al., 2012; Gunderson et al., 2018) For example ...

Math anxiety is the "feeling of tension, apprehension or even dread, that interferes with the ordinary manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems" ().Consistent and robust associations have been demonstrated between math anxiety and math achievement, indicating that people with higher feelings of fear and anxiety toward math tend to have lower math achievement (2-5).

Neurocognitive research suggests that math anxiety and its affective responses are related to the fear and pain network in the brain. 24 On a neural level, ... With regard to math, self-efficacy describes the belief of a person that, through their own action and effort, ...

math anxiety could serve to predict the child's math achieve-ment over and above what could be predicted by the child's own level of math anxiety. Put more formally, the effect that the education environment- average math anxiety has on individual math achievement is a contextual effect. A contextual effect is said to occur if an

Measuring intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, self-efficacy and mathematics anxiety gave the action research team an opportunity to see to what extent students' relationship with mathematics developed. This information helped teachers to see how their activities affected students' relationship with mathematics. A crucial factor influencing ...

Teachers and families can also ease anxiety around math by improving other types of learning. One thing that helps is improving study skills, Beilock said. "Our research has shown that math anxiety can lead a student to avoid studying the toughest math problems, which impacts their performance on a test.

Research from cognitive psychology and neuroscience illustrates the effect of state mathematics anxiety on performance and research from cognitive, social and clinical psychology, and education can be used to conceptualise the origins of trait mathematics anxiety and its impact on avoidant behaviour.

In this paper, we discuss several largely undisputed claims about mathematics anxiety (MA) and propose where MA research should focus, including theoretical clarifications on what MA is and what constitutes its opposite pole; discussion of construct validity, specifically relations between self‐descriptive, neurophysiological, and cognitive measures; exploration of the discrepancy between ...

The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the efficacy of game-based interventions on reducing maths anxiety. The mean effect size of the 22 experiments considered was −0.24 with a large 95% confidence interval of [ − 0.47, −0.01]. Therefore, the result of the analysis suggested a small effect size marginally significant at the 95% ...
