Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 i? Group-level results show the HA group has the lowest math anxiety score and the MLD group the highest. → Yılmaz Mutlu 2019

Evidence¶

Yılmaz Mutlu 2019¶

Yılmaz Mutlu. (2019). Math Anxiety in Students With and Without Math Learning Difficulties. International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 11(5), 471-475. https://doi.org/10.26822/iejee.2019553343

q3 · i? · associational · r1

Group-level comparison of math and math anxiety scores plotted by achievement group (Figure 2) for the 288 third graders. The text states "the HA group has the lowest math anxiety score, while the MLD group has the highest math anxiety."

"The results depict that the HA group has the lowest math anxiety score, while the MLD group has the highest math anxiety."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Academic Anxiety — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Affect Regulation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Math anxiety differs significantly across achievement groups, with MLD students not differing from low achievers — related
Children with MLD report higher learning mathematics anxiety than LA, TA, and HA peers, but not higher evaluation anxiety — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
The majority (77%) of children with high mathematics anxiety have average or above-average mathematics performance — related
