The Relationship

92 students in an upper level college statistics course were given a number of mathematics anxiety and performance measures. A canonical analysis resulted in one significant canonical factor, labeled Mathematics Efficiency, which explains the relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics performance. Variables making the greatest contribution to this high math efficiency factor were mathematics anxiety and attitude toward mathematics. One major implication of these results is that psychologists need to focus on attitude change and anxiety reduction techniques in helping people improve their performance in mathematics. In addition, educators need to design curricula which emphasize the promotion of positive attitudes toward mathematics rather than content alone to facilitate mathematics efficiency.

Abstract. Women have a minority position within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and, consequently, are likely to face more adversities at work. This diary study takes a look at a facilitating factor for women’s research performance within academia: daily work engagement. We examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between two behaviors (i.e., daily networking and time control) and daily work engagement, as well as its effect on the relationship between daily work engagement and performance measures (i.e., number of publications). Results suggest that daily networking and time control cultivate men’s work engagement, but daily work engagement is beneficial for the number of publications of women. The findings highlight the importance of work engagement in facilitating the performance of women in minority positions.

The Relationship

The relationship between academic job involvement and performance was explored in a sample of 80 upper-level business students. Data relating to academic job involvement (a modification of a job-involvement measure), final grade, GPA, performance ratings for self and peers, number of absences, and effort were collected. Significant correlations were .24 between academic job involvement and final grade, -.26 number of absences, and .34 effort. These results are discussed in light of prior research and implications for further exploration are identified.

This research is carried out on 60 students of IX Standard, Kendriya Vidalaya. Students were selected for the therapy on the basis of their SUD score. After taking math autobiography it was revealed that anxiety in mathematics for the students was developed due to various causes and the students were not dyslexic. Student’s average score in the recent mathematics exam was noted. Mathematics anxiety was assessed by using suri, monroe and koc’s (2012) short mathematics anxiety rating scale and their hemispheric dominance of the brain was measured by using Taggart and Torrance’s Human Information Processing Survey (1984). Students were treated with behaviour modification techniques and super brain yoga for six weeks. Interventions used are: I. Reduction of Rate of Breathing (Ganesan, 2012). II. Laughter Technique (Ganesan, 2008b). III. Develpoment of Alternate Emotional Responses to the Threatening Stimulus (Ganesan, 2008a). IV. Super Brain Yoga (Sui, 2005). The anxiety level and performance in mathematics exam was reassessed after six weeks. Results showed that mathematics anxiety and mathematics SUDs were significantly reduced, which improved the group performance in mathematics exam. This shows that behaviour modification techniques and super brain yoga are efficient in treating mathematics anxiety.

The Relationship

The aim of this study was to investigate mediating effect of feedback seeking behaviour on the relationship between classroom learning environment and mathematics anxiety. The study sample consisted of 158 students from a selected polytechnic in Malaysia. Questionnaires were used in this study. The results showed that all the variables studied in this study had a mean score values between 4.50 to 5.60 Moreover, the findings also showed that classroom learning environment and feedback seeking behaviour has an influence towards mathematics anxiety. Specifically, based on the result of the data analysis, it can be concluded that feedback seeking behaviour acts as a full mediator towards the relationship between classroom learning environment (lecturer support and involvement) and mathematics anxiety (learning mathematics anxiety and mathematics evaluation anxiety). Findings suggest that the lecturer support and participation on an ongoing basis is very important in overcoming mathematics anxiety.

Significant Point

The creativity is a process which can be enhanced by education. The creativity process may be evaluated in the most efficient way by following the student studies. The significant point is to look at the events, ideas, rules, behaviors and objects from different perspectives and to experience it in the life itself. The creativity is an important dimension of learning. The creative thinking is vital for acquiring the information and the environments convenient to enhancing the creativity help learners to hold positive attitudes towards learning. In this study, the creativity and creative thinking which are crucial nowadays and assumed to increase its importance in the future are examined in terms of the relationship between “alternative assessment methods” and “performance tasks” which have entered into our education system in recent years.

This study examines the relationship between self-concept and mathematics anxiety towards the freshmen learning results. The method used is the correlation method which was aimed to see how strong and how much influence of self-concept and mathematics anxiety with students’ learning results. The population in this study were all students of mathematics education academic year 2013/2014, the study sample was taken by purposive sampling technique as many as 88 students who took the Calculus I course. The instrument used in this research is scale mathematical self-concept and mathematics anxiety scale. The results showed that there is a positive relationship between self-concept and anxiety towards math-ematics learning outcomes of students. Research showed that there was a positive and sig-nificant relationship between self-concept and anxiety mathematical mathematics with stu-dent results.Keywords : Self Concept, Anxiety Mathematics Learning Outcomes
