Trait Anxiety Level Analysis of High School Students with Migration in Mersin

There has been growing awareness of the importance of self-control and anxiety and their relationships to coping skills during stressful situations. 44 high school students from a military academy were trained to perform a parachute jump and tested during the training course on performance, trait anxiety, and self-control. No effects of self-control and trait anxiety on training performance were noted. However, subjects high in trait anxiety and self-control performed the best, while subjects high in trait anxiety and low in self-control performed most poorly. These results reinforce other work and suggest that performance in parachuting may be due more to self-control than to anxiety.

The aim of this study is to investigate the anxiety levels of high school students towards mathematics lesson according to gender variable. A total of 89 ninth grade students (29 females and 60 males) from various high schools were enrolled in Van province center in the 2017-2018 academic year. In the study, the data were collected by using the developed “Mathematical Anxiety Scale” of the researcher. In the analysis of the collected data, frequency and percentage values were taken and independent sample t test was used. According to the results of the study, high school students' mathematics anxiety levels were at medium level. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in the anxiety levels of female and male students. While the test anxiety levels of the students who participated in the study were higher than the other anxiety levels, the lowest anxiety level was seen as lack of curriculum subjects.

Mathematics anxiety impacts to the learner tremendously especially his scholastic performance, mastery of learning competencies and skills, and even the career choice. This study investigated the different factors causing mathematics anxiety in Calculus of senior high school students. The research design employed was mixed method. Qualitative techniques were used in determining the factors that caused the anxiety of the participants and descriptive design in determining the anxiety level of the students. The study was conducted in five (5) senior high schools offering Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Strand in a province in the Southern Luzon, Philippines. Sixty- nine(69) participants took the Mathematic Anxiety Inventory (MAI) developed by Plake and Parker. The results revealed that almost all of the participants have either high or moderate mathematics anxiety level. The paper concludes that the abstract mathematical concepts of Calculus, the teaching style and attitude of the teacher, and the poor comprehension and analytical skills of the students were the major factors that caused the mathematics anxiety of the participants.
