Anxiety and self-efficacy in mathematics as a function of sex and mathematical background were investigated. This study employed an ex post facto 2 × 2 factorial design in which sex and mathematical background were classification variables. It was predicted that men would report lower anxiety scores and higher self-efficacy scores than women and that students with a high mathematical background would report lower anxiety scores and higher self-efficacy scores than those with a low background in mathematics. An interaction between sex and mathematical background was also predicted. 51 subjects were given the revised Mathematics Anxiety Scale and the Mathematics Self-efficacy Scale. Results supported the hypotheses with respect to background in mathematics for anxiety in mathematics, and all of the hypotheses were supported for self-efficacy in mathematics.

AbstrakMatematika merupakan pelajaran yang tidak banyak disukai orang, yang memancing sikap negatif dan menyebabkan pengalaman kegagalan. Salah satu faktor kegagalan adalah adanya kecemasan. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah menyelidiki seberapa besar dampak gaya mengajar guru terhadap kecemasan matematika pada siswa jurusan IPA dan IPS serta menyelidiki adanya interaksi antara konten matematika dan gaya mengajar guru dalam menentukan tingkat kecemasan matematika siswa. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan Ex Post Facto Design. Melalui teknik random sampling diperoleh sampel 30 siswa kelas X-IPA dan 30 siswa kelas X-IPS. Pengumpulan data melalui angket survey yang berisi 30 item kecemasan matematika dimana siswa merespons dengan skala Likert 1-5. Data dianalisis melalui uji statistic Anova dua arah dengan interaksi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan (1) Gaya mengajar guru dengan Problem Based Learning memiliki dampak yang besar terhadap penurunan kecemasan matematika pada siswa di semua jurusan IPA dan IPS, secara statistik signifikan (p < 0,05) dan secara praktis signifikan dengan dampak (efek) masing-masing d = 0,84 dan d = 0,55, dan (2) Terdapat interaksi yang berarti antara konten matematika dan gaya mengajar guru dalam menentukan tingkat kecemasan matematika dengan signifikasi (p < 0,05). The Interaction of Teaching Style and Mathematical Content as Determinants of Mathematical AnxietyAbstractMathematics is a lesson that is not much liked by people, which provokes a negative attitude and causes the experience of failure. One of the failure factors is anxiety. The main objective of this study is to investigate how much the impact of teacher teaching style on mathematics anxiety in students majoring in Natural Sciences and Social Sciences and investigate the interaction between mathematics content and teacher teaching style in determining the level of student mathematics anxiety. This research design uses Ex Post Facto Design. Through random sampling techniques obtained a sample of 30 students of X-IPA class and 30 students of X-IPS class. Data collection through a survey questionnaire containing 30 items of mathematical anxiety to which students responded with a Likert scale of 1-5. Data were analyzed through two-way Anova statistical tests with interactions. The results showed (1) The teaching style of teachers with Problem Based Learning had a large impact on the reduction of mathematics anxiety in students in all majors of Natural Sciences and Social Sciences, statistically significant (p <0.05) and practically significant with their respective effects (effects) - d = 0.84 and d = 0.55, and (2) There is a significant interaction between mathematics content and teacher teaching style in determining the level of mathematics anxiety with significance (p <0.05).

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of individual guidance and counselling services on the self-efficacy of orphaned children living in orphanages in Bungoma County. The researcher adopted the ex-post facto research design. The population of the study was 2132 orphans in the 20 orphanages. 280 of the orphans in all the 20 orphanages were interviewed. One (1) caregiver and one (1) administrator (again per orphanage) were interviewed. Out of a total of 20 Children’s Homes in Bungoma County, the researcher purposively sampled 280 orphans that were interviewed. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data from the respondents who included the orphans, orphanages administrators and caregivers. The self-efficacy scale of 1-4 was converted to between 0-100. The data was prepared, coded and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Strict ethical considerations were observed during the study. The study established that there was a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy of orphaned children and individual guidance and counselling services. The study’s recommendations were that the government should come up with policies to guide all the orphanages in Kenya, including the process of guiding and counselling. Every orphanage should also engage the services of a qualified guiding and counselling specialist for the orphans and should be paid well to avoid high turnover. Individual guiding and counselling services should be encouraged in orphanages as they are effective. They help the orphans open up and share challenges and enable them to solve serious life’s challenges.

This study was aimed at examining the effect of whole part hole training method and whole training method on the karate-kata skill of the students with high motor educability and low motor educability who joined Karate extracurricular. The method used was the ex post facto method with factorial design 2x2. The samples of the study were 80 elementary school students joining Karate extracurricular in SDIT Darul Ma’arif, Bandung Districts. The training was conducted twice a week for 20 weeks. The test instrument used was the karate-kata Heian Shodan test instrument. The obtained data were analyzed by MS Excel 2010 software with two-way Anova test. The results of the study show that: the whole part whole training method has a better impact on the karate-kata skill than the whole training method; the karate-kata skill of the high motor educability group was better than the low motor educability group; there was no interaction between the training method and motor educability on the mastery of karate-kata skill. According to the result of the study, it concludes that the whole part whole training method is more effective that the whole training method, while a high motor educability is better than the low motor educability.
